Add a pole and you have a triangle, which is why the same loose traverse feels different with one in your hand. You plant, test what the ground is doing, then commit your weight. On mud, wet roots, scree and stream crossings, the pole does the asking so your ankle does not have to answer. Your balance on uneven ground, rocks, mud and snow gets a real boost.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/assets.gearelevation.com\/pdp-trekking-poles\/03_grip_and_wrist_strap_in_use.jpg\" alt=\"Hand gripping the padded foam handle with the wrist strap looped correctly around the wrist\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:520px;height:auto;margin:0 auto;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e  \u003cdiv style=\"margin:0 0 40px;padding:26px;background:#f2f5f9;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e    \u003ch2 style=\"font-size:24px;line-height:1.2;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eRated 4.7 by 233 buyers\u003c\/h2\u003e    \u003cul style=\"font-size:17px;padding-left:22px;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e      \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom:9px;\"\u003e“Perfect for my long treks!

These use external quick-lock levers: flip open, pull to length, snap shut. You can see and hear that a lever is closed, and you can adjust one mid-descent without taking your gloves off.
