Go safe, go far: The correct equipment

Sticks
You will need a pair of carbon- or fibreglass sticks with adjustable hand-straps. These sticks absorb disturbing vibrations on your ankles, elbows and shoulders and enable you to perform your Nordic Walking effectively.

General rule for the ideal length of the sticks: two third of your body size.
