• They provide better balance and footing.
• On downhill hikes especially, they decrease the amount of stress on your legs and joints.
• On uphill climbs, poles transfer some of your weight to your shoulders, arms and back, which can reduce leg fatigue and add thrust to your ascents.
• They help you establish a walking rhythm.

And they are light, great on ice, full adjustable.

Big Deal o the Week: The Original Big Stinky Ashtray

$39.99 instead of $49.99

Finally! An ashtray for REAL cigar smokers! You will agree the bowls on most traditional ashtray designs are too small and/or too shallow. The enjoyment of fine cigars is often done in the company of others. Cigar smoking creates a substantial amount of debris, a mountain of ash, cigar butts, matches, even an occasional cigar band. Most people don’t want to litter the table, so often times, they toss the cigar cellophane and cedar packaging sleeves into the ashtray. With Stinky’s big bowl design you can smoke all evening without stopping to go empty the ashtray. The Original Stinky Cigar Ashtray is made of highly polished solid stainless steel. The bowl is 8″ diameter with 4-stirrups and 4″ tall.
