HIKING STAFFS: THE NECESSARY ACCESSORY FOR WALKERS AND HIKERS

If walking is the best exercise then many depends on hiking staffs that are the standard accessory for millions. Often the staffs help people to absorb shocks with greater adjust ability. However, the most important part of buying a hiking staff is to look for its designs, its handle type and the price of course. One may also look for height, whether you'll be spending most of the time hiking uphill or downhill, and your personal preferences. A properly sized pole should keep your arm bent at a 90° angle at all times, while the actual height will largely depend on your hiking style and ground.

Generally speaking, the staff or pole should be the stature from the top of your palm with your forearm held out in front of you at a 90°angle. The top of the handle should be at waist level, with your elbow at 90°. If, however, you have particularly long legs, you might find the height from the tip of your upturned thumb more comfortable, while people with shorter legs might find it more convenient to measure from the bottom of the palm.

So what does this mean in terms of actual height? While it is always best to size the pole in person, the table below should provide you with some basic guidelines.
