Equipment and Maintenance

Proper pole length ensures optimal shoulder extension without placing adverse torque on the elbow joint. This guide details the formula calculation and physical checks required for an accurate fit.

Selecting the correct tip material prevents slipping and dampens vibration through the wrist. Learn when to deploy angled rubber paws and when to expose bare metal points.

Nordic walking requires specific heel-to-toe roll mechanics distinct from running or rigid mountaineering. We evaluate sole flexibility, drop heights, and torsional stiffness.

Sub-zero temperatures alter rubber paw elasticity and internal shaft locking mechanisms. Discover maintenance steps and glove systems built for winter conditions.
