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.

Good value, could be a little better The only reason this loses a star for me is the two end pieces come off very easily. They were lost (unknowingly) on the first outing. You’d think they’d find a better way to attach these. Also, the lashings that go around your wrist could stand to be a bit longer. If you have big man hands, they may fit tight.

DO NOT PURCHASE! Poorly made product. I was excited to find a great deal on these cute purple hiking poles. They look great in person until you open the package. The knobs didn’t twist nor lock & they extended too far & had a tough time bringing them back down. AMAZON was great & expedited another pair which I received the following day.. However these poles are just poorly made & had the same issue with the knobs. Had to ask for a refund.

Good quality for general walking. Note short length. I’m very pleased with these poles. I’m 66 years old. Just wanted them to make walking easier. That they do well. I’m about 5”6″. I have them adjusted full length. If you’re taller than I am, you might need something longer.
