The Quechua MT100 and Wildcraft trekking poles are reliable entry-level options. Look for adjustable length (60–135cm), anti-shock mechanism, and comfortable EVA foam grips. Aluminum poles are heavier but more durable and budget-friendly compared to carbon fiber. Buying a pair is recommended over a single pole for better balance on uneven terrain.
