“The best poles are the ones you forget you’re carrying and this was certainly the case with the Cross Trails,” said Alex.
“It was only when, a couple of hours into a hike, I’d consider how fresh my legs were feeling that I’d suddenly give them the credit they’re due.”
Alex also noted the poles’ durability.
“For a versatile, lightweight pair, it’s hard to beat the Cross Trails. They’ve already tackled a hefty amount of terrain without visible wear.”
