The poles are comfortable and sturdy in the sense that they don’t rattle … The poles are comfortable and sturdy in the sense that they don’t rattle or vibrate too much. I was less impressed with the locking system as one of the poles occasionally refuses to lock into place when tightening and needs to be pulled apart and re-inserted to the upper piece. I also broke one of the poles on a rather benign maneuver so I question the durability of these over long hikes. Great for easy-moderate treks
Nicely sewn strap These seem strong. Pleasant colors. Nicely sewn strap. Comfortable and easy to use. Quite pleased.
Good first trekking poles but wont last forever My first trekking poles, I did more than 250km on track, bush walk and steep rocky hill. If you don’t use them with the basket, like me, you need to be careful they don’t go to deep between rocks or you are going to bend them. The locking mechanism never failed.
