Trekking poles and hiking staffs are indispensable tools to casual walkers and serious hikers, backpackers, and mountaineers alike. Fully adjustable, shorten the poles on the fly using the simple twist lock to more easily make your uphill climbs. And for downhill? Just add some length to aid your descent. While they require more use of the arms, utilizing poles or a staff more evenly redistributes weight throughout the body and allows for increased hiking endurance. What’s more, the shock-absorbing internal spring eases wear on weak or damaged ankles, knees and hips. A single lightweight pole weighs.75 lbs. and is 53″ long when fully extended, and the telescoping design retracts all the way down to 23″ to easily fit backpacks of many shapes and sizes. When used as a pair of trekking poles, the ergonomic plastic grip couldn’t be more comfortable, but also features a flared top that allows each pole to also be used as a single hiking staff. Each pole also features a secondary soft foam grip, and can be secured with a sturdy, adjustable wrist strap. The black carbonite tip is ideal for rough, craggy terrain and can also function as an ice spike. Also included is a vulcanized rubber foot ideal for hard surfaces and asphalt. Finally, an optional snow tip can be screwed onto the tip to prevent the stick from sinking too deeply into soft surfaces.

… time out with it and the lower portion bent like a twig First time out with it and the lower portion bent like a twig. Caused me to fall forward and get cut up. I have another one that I’ve had for a long time and never let me down. Please don’t buy this one.
Don’t waste your money on this item This bent the first time I used it, and the telescoping parts came apart when I adjusted it to the full length. I ended up using a stick I found in the woods to use in place of this walking stick. Don’t waste your money on this item, it is a poorly made product.
Its a walking stick! Seems to be holding up so far after a few hikes. Stays tight after adjusting and have not had it work loose after walking. Only awkward part is the retaining strap on handle, I would put the strap on the other side. Care must be taken if you are hiking with the extra rubber tips on the end, they might slip off and get lost. I would just take them off unless you really need them, just dont rely on them staying on!
