Christmas gifts for Nordic walkers!

We know how difficult it is to choose a present for somebody when you may not fully understand the activity or hobby that interests them, so we’ve put together a simple guide to buying presents for the Nordic Walker in your family!

Rule number one is NEVER buy fixed length poles for a somebody who has not yet tried Nordic Walking or has only recently started it. Choose ADJUSTABLE or for added quality go for EXTENDABLE poles.

The only time this would not apply is if they intend to travel a lot with their poles and in that case you may need to consider buying them some traveller or TELESCOPIC poles.

Your next decision will be on price and quality and these of course go hand in hand! The key components to look out for are the type of straps, adjustment mechanism and of course the material that makes up the pole shaft. In short, the more carbon content the better but these days there are some amazing non carbon poles on the market. When it comes to straps, there are two types of click in systems (how they are fixed to the pole) The Leki shark system (pictured) is a small loop between the thumb and forefinger whilst the plastic ‘trigger’ fixing is more widely found and in the case of Gabel poles really comfortable too. Pole handles vary too with cork being a popular choice. For people who want to use poles for stability and exercise but are perhaps not so keen on mastering full Nordic walking technique – the EXERSTRIDER strapless poles are always a great option too. If you are unsure – call the experts at Nordic Walking UK on 0333 1234 540 – we can talk you through the perfect gift and also get it sent to you in 24 hours! We have a no quibble returns policy if you get it wrong too!

Nordic walkers need to be hands free so they carry their essentials in backpacks or waist bags but these need to be neat so as to not disrupt the lovely swinging arm movement. Our range ensure that BACKPACKS are nice and slim and waist bags come in variations according to how much people want to carry. See

Other essentials are flexible soled waterproof SHOES, high viz GILETS and LIGHTS, special Nordic walking GLOVES and BAGS for carrying and storing Nordic walking poles.

Finally, a keen Nordic walker will want to know the full techniques so the NWUK BOOK is always a good bet along with stocking fillers such a TICK REMOVER CARDS and NECK WARMERS

To help you get it right…
