Is it necessary to buy expensive hiking sticks
differ from man to man.
There is no accurate answer to the question "Is it necessary to buy expensive climbing sticks?" After all, everyone has different choices. The choice of climbing stick mainly depends on your use, that is, outdoor type and terrain. Generally, you don't need to choose too expensive and good ones for hiking, just like "killing chickens with a knife". Outdoor hiking, mountaineering and snow activities have relatively high requirements for climbing sticks. Generally, three adjustable climbing sticks, aluminum alloy poles, carbon tungsten steel tips, handle pads designed according to human palms, and snow circles that can be quickly disassembled are used. The more advanced climbing stick is also equipped with a shock absorption system, which can reduce the load on the arm.
What kind of climbing stick is easy to use and cheap
The climbing stick is made of carbon fiber, titanium alloy, aerospace aluminum alloy and general aluminum alloy from light to heavy. Both carbon fiber and titanium alloy are the materials that will be used for climbing sticks at a higher price. However, as climbing sticks belong to climbing consumables, relatively affordable and durable aluminum alloys are the mainstream in the market, among which Hangtai grade aluminum alloys are lighter and stronger than ordinary aluminum alloys. The material will directly affect the weight of the mountaineering stick. You can choose according to your pursuit of lightweight mountaineering. If you plan to take it abroad for hiking in the future, it is more convenient to choose the lighter one.
Why there is a big gap in the price of climbing sticks
Many friends pay attention to why the price difference of climbing sticks is so big. After all, the cheapest climbing sticks on the market now range from 200 yuan to more than 2000 yuan for the most expensive one. The main difference lies in the material, weight, robustness and durability of climbing sticks. If you are a beginner and are not sure whether you will continue to climb mountains in the future, you can consider renting or starting from cheap brands, such as Rhino, Costco and Decathlon. If you have decided to start climbing, but the budget is not so sufficient, you can consider the mid priced Fizan, Black Diamond、Mont-bell。 If the budget is sufficient, you can consider buying the old brands of climbing sticks Komperdell and Leki with good quality and a certain popularity, but the price is much higher.
