1 Pair (2 Poles) Anti Shock, Adjustable, Collapsible Hiking Poles for Trekking or Walking, Lightweight Aluminum Sticks for Men, Women, Seniors, Kids & Children, Backpacking & Camping Gear

I purchased a pair of these poles over five years ago prior to a camping/hiking trip to Glacier and Yellowstone. Since then, I've used them many times during trips to other State and National Parks, most recently on a hike of Cadillac Mountain at Acadia (to the summit via the South Ridge Trail, then safely descended to Sieur de Monts on the much steeper Gorge Trail.) Two years ago, they proved valuable on hikes to Black Elk Peak in SD, Emerald Lake at Rocky Mountain NP (during wet conditions), Arches, Capitol Reef, and Bryce Canyon in UT. They adjust to a comfortable length for my height (6'-2"), the grips feel good, and the weight doesn't seem excessive to me. One of the rubber tips has worn through, but replacements are readily available. Reasonably priced and durable.

ME HA GUSTADO, SE SIENTE RIGIDO Y LIGERO A LA VEZ

Recurring problem with one pole not staying up, which makes them unusable. I am very unhappy. I bought them at the end of February and have hardly used hem.

The walking poles were purchased as a gift, but feedback from the user is all good.

I purchased these for a trek I'll be doing in Peru this coming fall, so haven't put them to the ultimate test, but I have starting using them on my hikes around where I live.Purchasing: These are as advertised and seem to be a very good value. Lightweight and packable! They come with an extra set of rubber tips (necessary if you're hiking historical sites) and a pair of snow tips. They arrived on time.Receiving: READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. I didn't and ended up doing what a lot of people do when they don't read the instructions ... the poles came completely apart. If this happens, the instructions tell you how to solve the problem and there is a video link in the instructions, if you would rather watch than read. Once you realize you need to grasp the poles and not the rubber connection segments, then it's easy to loosen, adjust and tighten. What's nice is that it is easy to adjust your poles while you're hiking and the terrain changes.Using: I haven't used them a lot, but they are light-weight and very sturdy. Easily adjustable for all body heights.But, the best thing I can say about this product is the owner's emphasis on customer service. Prompt responses, and a genuine desire to make sure you are a satisfied customers customer. Something that is lacking in today's world.UPDATE: I'm in peru and have completed all my hikes at Machu Picchu (including wayna picchu) and I wouldn't have been able to complete this steep, slippery hike without this pole -- just used one for this hike. The Cusco and Pisaq hikes were easier with the poles and the tips lasted much longer than I expected. Also, they collapse down to a very packable size.
