Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles - Collapsible, Shock Absorbent, Ultra Lightweight Hiking Walking Sticks - Quick Locks, Cork Handle - All Terrain Accessories Included

These trekking poles are a great value! I’ve only had a chance to use them for a weekend but they held up well to bushwhacking up MacNaughton Mountain in the Adirondacks. Throughout the trip the poles were used on almost every terrain you could think of, they were hit on trees constantly(bushwhacking) and overall were put through the paces fairly well. I feel pretty confident that these will hold up for quite a while but unfortunately only time will tell. Onto the in depth review...Top to bottom: The secondary hand grip is definitely useful when not wanting to adjust your poles for small sections of hills. Both grips feel like high quality grips. I’ve only used plastic grips up until now and the cork was very nice in comparison. The hand straps are easily adjustable. Not much to worry about there. Now onto the adjustment clamps: the clamps work as they should and I did a lot of height adjustments during my trip. I only had an issue with a pole retracting once or twice but that was obviously user error. Make sure you check for how tight the clamp tightens down: now too easy and not too hard. The best position seemed to make the clamp snap into position. The shafts themselves seem to be good quality. I did notice a tinnnnny piece of fiberglass strand coming off a pole but it’s not enough to make me concerned. I’m not sure if this is common with fiberglass poles, as I’ve only used aluminum until now, but they do make a sound when used on hard surfaces. To me this merely sounds like the fiberglass slightly flexing (which I’ve read is pretty normal) but regardless of what it is it did seem to allow for some nice shock absorption. Oh and I was very happy with the amount of accessories that came with these! The carabiners were useful to use on my pack, especially since they’re locking, and the storage bag is awesome to have! I can’t comment on the other attachments but the mud basket with carbide tip worked as they should but having the extra attachments is nice! I look forward to taking on the Adirondack high peaks next year with these!

I love to go hiking every weekend, and I started to notice that over time my knees were starting to bother me from the steep downhills. I had seen countless people using trekking poles and finally decided to cave and get a pair for myself. When I was deciding to buy a pair, I came across these beauties and instantly fell in love with them. They are extremely light and durable and are made from good quality materials. I figured that it would make more sense spending a little more money for something that was good quality and would last me for years to come.The second thing that impressed me was the customer service that this company provides. The first day I had gone hiking with my new trekking poles, I was hiking through a lot of foliage when one of my rubber tips had fallen off (perhaps a defect in the tip itself). I was really upset especially since it was brand new and It was impossible to find with all the leaves on the ground. I contacted the company and explained to them what had happened and within 24 hours I received a response that they were sorry for what had happened and that they already shipped out a new pair of rubber tips to replace the one lost.Thank you again for being such an honourable company and providing excellent service and an excellent product to its consumers.

Good trekking poles but must take off locking screws and dry th right away if hiking in the rain.,they rust easily

I ordered these trekking poles while I rehab my hip, to help support my weight evenly when I walk. They are a great value equation for me! The poles are sturdy, have comfortable grips, and they're adjustable for easy carrying. They come with several tips as you can see, and they even have a nice carrying bag. The quality is excellent and they stay in place when I lengthen them. I did lose the rubber walking tip, as I noticed another reviewer did but replacements are inexpensive enough. The order came in quickly, they're, attractive and lightweight, and so reasonable in price. Definitely recommend!

These walking sticks have some nice features - cork handle, adjustable length, carbon fiber design so they're very light. However, the different attachments for varying terrain will be easily lost during a hike. They are secured to the stick's tip by a minimal interference fit, which means they simply slide on and off, and that's the problem. They very easily slide off while walking if you so much as drag the tip. Seems the only option is to pick the one you like most and epoxy in place.Every other aspect of the sticks is very good. This aspect is quite poor.

Falls apart piece by piece. A great lightweight and easy to adjust design let down by poor durability and robustness.The test of these "Everest" poles was the base of Everest itself. Late 2017 I did a trek to Nepal Everest Base Camp with these poles over a two week period, where they were in use daily. In the first twenty minutes of day 1 one of rubber tips disappeared in shallow mud. The rubber tips are not stuck on well and within another day I had lost the other. I ended up using the rubber feet instead for the rest of the trip, and while they are not as comfortable to use at least they do not fall off.The cork handles are not durable at all. After one week of use one of them had a huge crack down its side. I had to repair it with medical tape. I do find it amusing that the only time I had to perform first aid beyond the pain tablet and band-aid level was on my non-living trekking pole.The provided pair of carabiner also bent out of shape and damaged to the point that the spring mechanism no longer functioned. All I used them for was to lock my water bottles to my pack and they could not even handle that stress and strain.A shame to rate these poles poorly, as the design is overall good, and they did somewhat survive Nepal and Everest, however I cannot forgive the durability and robustness issues. Items like these need to be something that you can rely on, be there for you, not something that is going to fall apart when you are stuck many miles from civilization.
