Customer Reviews
These poles provide excellent quality for the money. I just used these on a three-day hiking trip in Colorado, which included hiking to the summit of Mt. Elbert (the highest peak in the Colorado Rockies), and these held up remarkably. My friends both had a different brand that had cost them $70 on sale, and we swapped poles at various times to compare them. None of us could tell the difference between theirs and mine.
They were easy to adjust and the grips were very comfortable. The cork was definitely nice in that it didn't slip as my hands got sweatier, but it did leave some grit on my hands that my friends' rubber-handled poles did not. But that is a tiny gripe, after all, we were hiking on dirt trails and scrambling up rock!
One of the poles did slip out of its adjustment on the first hike we took, but this was because I did not tighten it all the way and it was not a fault of the poles themselves. When you adjust these to the length you need, just be sure that you really tighten them all the way.
I got these poles for backpacking in Yosemite National Park and up Half Dome. They saved my knees and my legs! I have a bad left knee and was worried so I heard that trekking poles help, and I used poles once when hiking before. If it weren't for these poles I wouldn't have gotten engaged at the top of Half Dome! Ok not really, I was determined either way but these poles enabled me to hike over 20 miles with minimal soreness. They were easy to use, comfortable, and best of all, less than half the price of REI's cheapest poles! I highly recommend these for anyone on a budget. They even came in the mail 2 days after I ordered them!
