trekking poles with little or no vibration
Can anyone recommend a hiking pole that doesn't vibrate or vibrates very little? Mine are annoying as heck.
Thanks!!

Yes. They're called sticks. I've got a pair myself.They are sturdy, lightweight, free, and easily replaceable if lost or broken. I found mine on the ground in Georgia.Originally Posted by musicwoman
Try a great new product- Kno-poles.
They don't vibrate at all.
poles without shocks and with rubber tips are reasonably quiet - perhaps that would be what you are looking for - on the other hand sticks or other non-collapsable poles would be just as good
Solid Pole
I know of two good choices, although there are likely more:

I have used both, of late the latter
Not sure about native NY bamboo but a garden supply or websites can provide a DIY project, or like above post, step outside...
Agree. But I have also used Komperdells as well. Never even thought of them vibrating (?). Mine though did not have any antishock mechanisms.
I like the cheap aluminum "Eddie Bauer" hiking poles sold at Target for about $20 apiece. Not the ones with the compass in the hand grip. Bent one, threw it away, got another, no big deal. Plus now I have one silver one and one orange one - cool.
Meet us half way, pray tell what kind of poles are giving you the problem and maybe a solution is at hand.
Hmmm, woman seeking non-vibrating poles, I would of thought it would be the other way around!!
Take the batteries out. Some people like the vibrating poles.
I'm not really a hiker, I just play one on White Blaze.
LMAO!!!! Well, let's not rule that out either, I've been seperated for over a year after all!!Hmmm, woman seeking non-vibrating poles, I would of thought it would be the other way around!!
However, I was specifically speaking of the poles that I WALK with
I have a pair of Black Diamond Trekking poles. No bells or whistles. Just a basic pair of poles. They aren't noisy, but man, every time I put one down, it vibrates to the point where my wrist starts hurting.
I guess I am looking for something more sturdy. I think perhaps a 2 pc pole instead of the 3 pc might be the answer? I really need them for my knees, hiking without them is not an option.

You could try the ones with an anti-shock spring! I use the leki super makalus and have never had problems with vibrations. A three section pole actually might help dampen vibrations too! Also covering the carbide tip will help! Have fun!LMAO!!!! Well, let's not rule that out either, I've been seperated for over a year after all!!

I was just on the phone with a fellow hiker down in Va. He just recommended the Leki's as well. He described what was happening perfectly: He asked if the poles "resonate", which is exactly what is happening. I am going to drive the 50 miles this weekend to the nearest outfitter (EMS, ugh, I hate them), and try a pair out.
