Walking/Trekking Poles

[JB9302]

Just got a couple of pairs of these from ebay and wondered what is the recomended height they should be set at ? , seen some people walking with them set so the grip is level with the chest and others lower .Was thinking set them to fit arms/hands level with elbow when bent ie 90% .

Any advice

Thanks

I think you should set them to what feels comfortable for you.

Walking poles, great. I've a pair now and wondered how I managed years ago. Anyway getting to the question, yes, 90 degrees. When ascenting, adjust to shorten pole and descenting, adjust to lenghted pole.

There is a good web-site called Alpkit, go on there and link on support.

Straying from subject I know but Alpkit also sell a really good LED headtorch at a very attractive price.
