The Best Trekking Poles

If you walk or hike regularly (and, really, if you don’t, you should), we strongly recommend using a pair of trekking poles (or, at the very least, a walking stick). After about 40 hours of testing on trails, streets, beaches, and many places in between (including extensive handling and testing in a physical-therapy office, among therapists, nurses, patients, and doctors in an orthopedic group), we’ve determined that the Montem Ultra Strong Trekking Poles are the best for nearly everyone. They’re simple to set up and use, comfortable, and able to take a beating.
