Leki poles for me when I use them, excellent quality and light with no issues at all with the strap. My other half uses Karrimor carbon poles which we bought a few years ago for £30, superb value and standing the test of time.
There is a local Nordic walking group that use the country park where we walk the dog and I got talking to the group leader about her poles, she was very dismissive about walking poles saying that her Nordic poles were and I quote, “the rolls Royce” of all poles, walking or otherwise”, I politely disagreed and left her to her class on the site of an old colliery.
