What are the characteristics of the "straight grip" and "T grip" of trekking poles?

The invention is characterized by being used for professional outdoor sports, being convenient to carry and comfortable to hold.

T-handle is suitable for leisure sports and daily life.

Adapt to the scene:

1, outdoor mountaineering, hiking

You can choose a trekking stick with three or four sections, and it is best to choose a straight handle. Aluminum alloy poles and carbon fiber poles can be considered as materials.

2. Hiking on the flat ground/field

You can choose professional crutches with inclined handles, and the materials can be carbon fiber rods and aluminum alloy rods. The wrist strap of the walking stick is different from the ordinary trekking stick, and it is a full palm wrist strap, which can fully match the angle of the swing arm.

3, leisure mountaineering/daily use

Two, three or four trekking poles can be used, mainly depending on the needs of carrying. The material can be aluminum alloy pillar, carbon fiber pillar and wood pillar.

Extended data:

First, the main points of purchase

1, check the lock:

Lock each section of the trekking pole and press it down with all your strength to ensure that it will not break and the locking system can bear the load.

2. Wear a wristband:

Wearing a wristband when hiking can make you feel comfortable and you can swing your cane back and forth. If the wristband rubs your wrist, keep looking. It is best to choose a soft wristband, which has certain elasticity and can be easily adjusted to the required tightness, and it is not easy to fall off.

3. Select the handle:

Cork and foam handle trekking poles are usually the first choice for people who are prone to sweating or often hiking in rainy days, because these materials have good friction even if they are wet.

Handles made of rubber, plastic and other materials will be slippery when wet, and the feel is not particularly good, but they are durable and have good strength. If your palms sweat easily, avoid using plastic handles, because they will slip out of your palms like wet fish.

Canes made of cork or foam are best held. In cold weather, foam handles are warmer than cork, plastic, wood or rubber.

4. Select materials:

Aluminum alloy trekking poles are strong, light and cheap, and most manufacturers use aluminum alloy materials. If you are a person with high quality requirements, you can choose a new and lighter crutch made of carbon fiber or titanium alloy.

Carbon fiber is as strong as aluminum alloy, lighter but more expensive. Titanium alloys are lighter but more expensive.

The diameter of trekking poles made of carbon fiber and titanium alloy is relatively small, which makes people feel very light. When in use, it can be thrown quickly, and it is easy to put the pole tip in the right position.

5. Number of selected parts:

First of all, according to the intensity of activities, the more crutches, the lower the corresponding endurance. When doing leisure activities, the most prominent thing is that it is easy to carry, so four sticks are the first choice. When the activity has a certain intensity, choose three-stage staff to ensure safety.

Second, the use of precautions

1. When hiking for a long distance, always check whether your crutches are locked, so as not to lose the front hoof of the donkey.

2. Try not to insert trekking poles into seawater or water with high calcium content, such as Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. Otherwise, it will corrode the rattan or be difficult to clean.

3. When walking on a mountain road with a cliff on one side. Be sure to use the trekking pole on the side of the mountain, otherwise it is easy to get into danger! We should get into the habit of using crutches with both hands at ordinary times.

On the steep uphill road, try to stay away from the people who use trekking poles in front, otherwise don't blame others for being blind.

5. The trekking stick is neither a magic pestle nor a king kong stick. Be gentle with it. Even if the stick is used violently, it will break and may be dangerous.

6. When adjusting the length of the lower two sections of the three trekking poles, pay attention to the fact that the length of the lower two sections should be as equal as possible, so that the strength can be evenly dispersed and the injury caused by too long and too concentrated section can be avoided. Some styles of crutches will have scales.
