Smooth Out Your Stride

The point of trekking poles is to enhance your balance and reduce strain on your joints, but many hikers find that they can transfer shock to your elbows and wrists. If you’ve struggled with that yourself, the Mountainsmith Pyrite 7075 Trekking Poles could be the perfect solution. These lightweight aluminum poles give you all the usual features that you expect from Mountainsmith, like lightweight construction, durable carbide tips, and a secure double cam twist lock adjustment mechanism. But they also have a trick up their sleeve, in the form of a spring loaded anti-shock system that takes the sting out of pole placement. And that means you can keep pushing as the miles add up, without adding wear and tear to your upper body in the process.
