Just looking for some opinions from hikers who have used them before and what kind of benefits they have. Do they help distribute the stress load that the legs endure on a hike to the upper body? I'm tempted to purchase a pair but am looking for some advice on if it's really worth it. Thanks for any input.

Edit: Tom, thanks for the tips and moving the topic to the appropriate forum. Also, have you experienced any drawbacks/inconveniences while taking trekking poles with you?
