Regatta Baxter (2012)

Brasher Anti-Shock Rubber

£60.00

These walking poles from Brasher have a wedge system on the straps which is fiddly to adjust, but they feel comfy once you set the correct length. The rubber handle is slightly lumpy and the various grooves chafe after a few miles. The locking mechanism is not very positive to adjust, but stays secure, and the optional anti-shock is useful. ...
