Telescopic Trekking Poles

I've hiked 170 mi in these trekking poles since I purchased them in Nov '17, mainly in the Catskills and Whites. No probs so far. Sometimes they slide in at the joints, but nothing that a screw tightening, finger tight, doesn't fix. Also they're on the heavier side compared to pricier poles, but not bad. I'm pleased with my purchase and hope to hike many miles with these poles! UPDATE: Jan 2019, I've hiked countless more miles with these poles and they've held up surprisingly well.

I used these on my first overnight backpacking trip this past weekend, and I am very glad that I had these poles. We had a 3,000 elevation gain, and this helped tremendously on the hike up and down the mountain. I'm not sure how my knees and legs would have survived had I not had them. The only thing I would look at next time is cork handles. I would recommend this to a friend and would buy again.

I waited until I had hiked with these several times before writing the review.I was tired of my expensive name brand poles sliding down while being used (I guess I flick my wrists and they start to unscrew?) and wanted to try some poles with levers instead of twist lock adjustments.I chose these because they seemed to be the best value (even if a few of the reviews seemed sketchy) and am glad that I did. I had one adjustment on one pole slide only once. All I had to do was open the lock, twist the knob about 1/4 of a twist and it never did it again. You may need to adjust the locks like this once before you start, but then you should be good to go.They are a light pole for the price point (I didn't notice a weight difference between these and my expensive poles but there might be one) and they seem to be well made.

No issues, held up well, great assist on a hike to a 14,065 feet summit over mud, snow, ice, and rocks. I like that there are 2 types of rubber tip grips or that you can use it without rubber tips for steel tip. by the way...one should never rely on Hiking poles to support your weight that could result in catastrophe; these poles are meant to be used to increase traction for slight leverage, or correct a balance offset. The negative reviews where people state the poles bent under their weight and risked their lives are incorrectly using hiking poles.

These are brilliant, wish they came in more colorful coatings or designs (Dragons, psychedelic swirls, anime/cartoon characters etc.)easy to use, wish they'd stand upright though, I use mine as a walking stick, the manufacturer should give the option of a walking stick handle..... (i'd also add the ability to have lights on it to make it visible at night.)

These poles were a great disappointment. Purchased them for a 5-day backpacking trip, but - used by my niece who weighs about 120lbs max - they didn't even last throughout the first day before the flip locks loosened up and the poles started. Over the next several days, we tried tightening the screws and other tricks to tighten the locks (resorted in the end to duct taping the locks), but overall, these poles turned out to be more of a liability than a support since they'd collapse at random, which is bad news for a hiker carrying a large pack. Ended up in trash can at end of trek.Even at a low price, the quality should not have been that bad.

My wife and I have been using these for easy to moderate hiking trails for the past month, and they work very well. They comfortable, easy to adjust, and sturdy. We have not noticed any shock absorber problems, but we have not had them on exceedingly difficult terrain. They have been a great help on rocky trail paths to keep one steady from slipping on the rocks.

These trekking poles are lightweight and the handles are ergonomically correct. The quick clamps stay put and have no problem supporting my 225 lb weight in challenging terrain. The carry bag is a bit flimsy but that's not a big deal to me.

I used my new Trekking Poles while walking on both the road and a forest path. They were a pleasure to use! Lightweight, quiet, balanced, they assisted my gait and kept my weight transfer balanced. Plus, they provided a great workout for my arms! I look forward to using them on my next walk!

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I am 6’2” tall and these trekking poles extend enough for me to use comfortably. Use it couple times a week on a snow covered trail. Very pleased with the product!

Like the ease of setting the poles up. Slid smoothly, and held position the whole hike (25km)

Great product and well made.
