Why We Like The Distance Carbon Trekking Poles

They're practically weightless in your hand and feature a comfortable foam Distance Grip, so you'll all but forget you have them with you until it's time for a steep climb or tricky descent.

Too Light?

These are definitely light, but I’ve now broken two poles and a tip during three separate training sessions. The first break was my fault - slipped on a descent and put all my dynamic weight on the pole which ended up snapping in two places. Then, on another run, the tip broke from getting wedged between two roots - which is not uncommon - so I was surprised that this led to breakage. I was able to buy and replace the tip, so I wasn’t that concerned. Then today I stumbled on a fairly flat trail and put a little extra weight on the pole which then snapped. That one really surprised me and made me think that these are just not sturdy enough for me. I’m 6”2, 195lb and was a x-c ski racer, so I’m not a novice with poles. But - maybe I’m just too big for these? Love running with poles and love how light these are - but I’m probably going to have to look at something else, unfortunately.
