TrailBuddy Trekking Poles (TM) offer the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability in a complete set designed for the trekker’s comfort and ease of use.
Why use trekking poles?
1. Reduce impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips
2. Increase speed, balance, and security
3. Get more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains
4. Great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues
5. Other uses:
– Can deflect shrubbery or act as probe for puddles, quicksand, etc
– Defense vs bears, other wildlife
– Can double as tent poles
Additional advantages of Aluminum 7075
While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure – common issues include snapping especially when it gets stuck on rocky terrain. Aluminum will not snap. It might bend under extreme pressure, but you can more likely bend it back and continue using it.
Additional advantages of Lever Lock
Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily. This is helpful if packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length is needed. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles.
Satisfaction Guarantee
TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of the product. We offer a 1-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

TrailBuddy Poles – Exactly what I needed! I was prescribed walking sticks by my doctor and, after much research, I decided to give TrailBuddy’s a try. Best decision I could have made! They are lightweight yet sturdy and easy to adjust (lengthen /heighten). I also love that they come in a variety of colors.
great price comparable to some of the expensive big name … My first set of hiking sticks. Light weight, portable and durable. great price comparable to some of the expensive big name brands.
Great product for the price. I bought the Trailbuddy pole in anticipation of going for a walk up on the hill where I live. When I tried it for a walk at the park, I was surprised how light the pole was! I have problems with my back and walking is quite difficult. This pole helped me walk farther. This is a great product.
