General comments about trekking poles: After a 6-hour hike on a very rough trail in Moab using a traditional walking stick, I decided to try these trekking poles on my next outings at Zion and Canyonlands national parks. I was surprised by how much they improved my walking speed and endurance. The stability improvement was also noticable, just not as surprising. I was able to travel further and faster with less effort; it feels like they redistribute a small portion of the walking effort from your legs to your upper body for a more evenly balanced total effort. I expected a big improvement in stability, especially on rough terrain, but did not expect better walking performance. The poles are not exclusively for rough terrain, as I originally thought, but also improve walking on flat, even ground.DO watch a couple of videos on techniques of how to best use trekking poles for best results. I saw a lot of other walkers carrying trekking poles on the trail but not using them very effectively.These particular poles are ultra light, sturdy, and easy to adjust. The carry case is convenient. I have not had a need to use the accessory tips, but like having them as an option.

The poles are great. Light and sturdy. As good as the $120 REI pair I used for 10 years before losing them to the TSA last month.I use them for snowshoeing in addition to hiking but the included snow baskets are too small to screw onto the end of the poles. After much wrestling I got the mud baskets on but the interior dimensions of the snow baskets are even smaller. I can't get them on far enough to even touch the threading on the end of the poles.

The weight of your hiking poles does matter. You swing them forward and back as you hike and it causes fatigue to your wrists, arms, and chest. A lighter pole makes a big difference. You'll see immediately after a few hours of swinging these extremely lightweight carbon fiber strong poles how much difference several ounces makes. It may not seem like much but it really does matter. I have been using them for three years and I won't touch all my other poles any longer. I only use these. The company is very good with Support.

I normally use only one hiking stick, in the right hand. I have a bunch and they’re all real wood, discovered in various place in the Adirondacks. Pro tip …best place to find a nice hiking stick is a beaver dam! Usually light weight wood sticks, already weathered and gnawed to perfection.I dont like manufactured trekking poles because:1 - the click clack noise they pollute the forest with2 - the tips of them leave unsightly scrapes on all the rocks along the trails.3 - the tips always fall off at some point and leave a non biodegradable item on the forest floor4 - they are simply not as durable as real wood poles. I dont care what your pole is made out of, I am not confident that it can take full body weight or survive getting accidentally wedged between some rocks. Real wood “gives†a bit, while your carbon fiber is going to snap in half.5 - I always see people along the trail experience an unexpected collapsing of the poles. It’s hilarious. I saw one guy snap his fancy pole across his knee after biting the ground. Wood sticks dont do that.Anyways. I bought these specifically for hikes that require air travel. I just finished 8 days on Kilimanjaro and these worked nicely. The terrain is wide open, nothing technically complex or gnarly along the trails. So they were basically “walking sticks†in terms of anticipated function. They collapse down nicely and fit in a large pack, or you can strap to the side of the pack.Only issue is that on a test run up in the Adirondacks here in upstate NY, one of the “default tips†that came on the poles popped off somewhere. Couldn’t find it. So now there’s yet another pole tip that’s going to sit on the forest floor for 100,000 years. Dang it.However, the kit comes with some other tips. Including two tips that seem to be the same as the ones that come installed from the factory EXCEPT that they screw on. So I popped those two on there, and they seem very tightly set. Try it out. When you get these poles out of the box, yank on the tips. Do they pop right off? If so, screw the other ones on.I didnt experience and pole collapsing. I put some weight on them on downhill portions. If you’ve never been to Kili, the down is way worse than the up if you have knee cap arthritis like i do. Coming down from the summit is scree scree scree and then toe-jamming mile after mile of sloped descent.There is no way these can take full body weight when the pole is at max or near max length. It’s a bit wobbly compared to wood. BUT, it does NOT make that annoying CLICK CLANK noise that everyone else’s poles do. Nice!So far 4 stars here, and I’ll update this if things change.

I bought these for a ten mile hike in the Appalachian mountains I did over the weekend. I had on a 60lb pack, and I weigh 230 lbs myself, so with my clothes and whatnot, these poles were being used for about 300 lbs. This was used for support on a lot of up and downhill, on dirt, dead leaves, rocks and even some sand. The tips gripped well and never slipped, the poles held up, and the settings never slipped. The handles absorbed my sweat, and even water from a rainstorm that hit early in the hike, and stayed grippy. Very happy with these trekking poles.

was on the fence with trekking poles, but decided to get a pair to try them out and landed on these due to weight and cost. I am 6ft 1 and I put all my body into these as we hiked up and down mountains for a 2 week new mexico trip and they were fantastic. Once I got them set to my desired height they were great. Light weight, I think they slide down once or twice, but I little tightening of the adjustment screw and I was set. SUPER helpful on the uphills when carrying 50+lbs and they weight next to nothing.Compared to the more expensive $100+ black diamond ones my buddy had... these had more plastic on the adjustment screws and locking parts, but the plastic was fine. Functionally identical and way less.I did tear through the rubber tips after a week, but I picked up a set of mountain smith replacement tips... they were a bit nicer, but it wasn't THAT much better. Would recommend no question.

Leichte Wanderstöcke , gut zu verstauen am Rucksack. Ich habe sie mir gekauft weil man sie klein verpacken kann. bringe sie locker und die Sitzbank von meinen Roller wenn ich zur Anfahrt meiner Wandertour den Roller nehme. Würde Sie mir für den Preis wieder kaufen.

Tra gli aspetti positivi di questi bastoncini c'è la leggerezza e l’impugnatura in sughero ergonomica, proprio perché ha maggior grip e riduce la sudorazione, oltre ad essere più morbida. il kit arriva dotato di una semplice custodia e diversi puntali in base al terreno.
