>>2575029Tbdesu it’s super easy to overlook. Any reviews you see probably don’t mention it. I’m not sure why, they just generally don’t. And you wouldn’t notice the lower loop because it’s tucked out of the way.
When you get to a stretch of a hike where they’re not needed (like a road walk or something), it’s super convenient. You might think the poles get in the way of your arm or something, but they just don’t. Same for an umbrella, and umbrellas excel in the Deep South, with its retarded scattered storms during hot weather.
And you can rest your hand in your trekking pole handle like it’s the hilt of a giant broad sword.
