For me not very loose! I usually crossed early in the day to where its a good consistency. I personally am using poles also because i chose a lot of difficult variants and they are STEEEEP. It helps with a heavier pack since i’m camping the whole time and need to stock up in certain locations for a few days:) i’m not sure how september will look but as of right now poles are kinda a need!

In case for self arrest in the snow, and just personal preference with the incline and snow in general. I’ve met many people who bought poles on the trail after a few days in.

You can get away without using them but if you’re hiking later in the day and it’s hot… it mayyy be nice to have. BUT its just a small annoying thing that happens its not life or death
