Best Trekking & Hiking Poles in Australia – Level Up Your Walking!

For those of us that have used them on long steep or undulating treks, hiking poles are an absolute game-changer in the ways they can assist you. But for those who have never used them – they look like some add on from snow skiing they don’t quite understand.

Trekking or hiking poles have been around in some form for thousands of years, with commercial poles taking over from sticks quite some time ago.

These lightweight and collapsible poles support your core, assist with your balance, stabilize you as you move up and down through steep terrain and can even be used to assist on the uphills by getting your shoulders involved.

The speed and comfort with poles versus without poles will surprise many and poles have become a must-have item for long-distance hiking or trekking these days.

We have Australia's best available poles stacked up against each other for an easy comparison, taking the guesswork out of your buying decisions for your next or first pair of trekking poles.
