TrailBuddy Trekking Poles – Lightweight 7075 Aluminum Hiking Poles for Women, Men & Seniors – Collapsible Walking Sticks for Travel, Trails & Balance

I rarely return to write reviews on products but every time I hike with these I think about how I need to return and write a review. I finally am remembering to. I've now had these apparently 5 years. I've only recently within the last year picked up hiking much more consistently. These poles work amazingly well and are so much more affordable than others these days. I actually thought I needed new poles but then found I just needed to adjust some screws by hand. In a dorky way, I consider these guys my friends as they have saved me dozens of times from potential falls or for climbing and/or descending difficult terrain. HIGHLY recommend these (or no doubt newer versions now). The cork handles absorb any moisture from your hands and they are light and easy to use. I like how they are adjustable for me as I have them at the tallest setting and they are the perfect height.

Great product. Well made. Easy to adjust and lightweight yet sturdy. Purchased the yellow…just a lovely color.

LOVE MY WALKING STICKS! I'm 5'9", 225 lbs, and 54. Would not be able to hike without them. I had gone on a couple of trails in the past week with my 4' stick I've had forever and realized how much I needed walking sticks. Today, I went back for a longer outing (10 miles total, elevation change of 714') using my sticks for the first time. They were fantastic! As seen in the photos, I selected the yellow ones (cheapest at the time) and used the rubber tips for packed dirt trails with limestone formations and shale along the lakeshore. It was amazing how much they add in stability and momentum. Also very helpful when stepping on mixed nuts on the trail - hickory nuts, acorns, and pecans. The recommended length for my height is perfect. Followed instructions, so no issues with height of the stick slipping or holding my weight. Love the cork handles and how lightweight the sticks are. When I wasn't using them, I'd carry both in one hand with no issues or fatigue. By the way, this review is for Boomer (you'll understand when you purchase yours). Enjoy!

Great item but I wish it compacted more. It sticks out of my backpack when collapsed. Comes with a nice bag for the added tips. Good price and quick delivery.

At 6'4" I'm at the stated upper range to use these hiking poles. Nonetheless, I purchased and found this to simply be an excellent product and the extended 54" length was perfect for my frame. Setup was straightforward and with the supplied instructions, quite clear and simple. I found the moisture-wicking cork handgrips to be comfortable with little to no fatigue on longer and challenging hikes. Additionally, after reading the instructions and properly setting the locking tension on these poles, there was zero slippage during use. I appreciated the enclosed warning that TSA might or might not allow these as carry-on and given their collapsed 24.5" length, I was able to pack them in my medium sized checked luggage. This was a last minute purchase before hiking in Yosemite and was largely/mostly based upon other user feedback. Of the hundreds (gulp) of products purchased on Amazon over the years, this product easily ranks near the top in quality and value for money spent. If you purchase these based upon my and other positive reviews, I hope you have a similar experience.

Excellent poles; light weight, very thoughtfully designed and very well made. The clamps are a great improvement over earlier collapsible poles (even by first-class makers) which tightened by twisting them. The grips are comfortable. The variety of supplied tip options is generous. Full disclosure: sofar I've used them only for Nordic walking: no snow, ice or cold temperatures. (I'm a 90-plus yo male ex-skier.)

Bought these nearly three years, and 400+ hiking miles, ago. Extremely durable and easy to use/extend. I ended up buying two more sets as gifts. The cork on the handle keeps grip good in cold and heat. And it keeps sweaty hands from making the grip slick. The bottom tips are easily replaceable. I’ve used these in all weather conditions and all hiking terrain. They’re my go-to for day hikes. If you’re looking for ultra-lite poles that are compact, I would look elsewhere.

Im writing this because the note in my trekking poles that I own as well as my husband says I should write a review so that Boomer, their dog can get more treats and I am happy to do that. Boomer- these poles are just awesome. They have really helped my husband with his balance and he walks more now with them. I can walk faster on any terrain- snow, (which we have not had yet), sand or wood hiking trails and hard surfaces. They are so comfortable and adjustable and really give you a nice workout. They have really changed the entire exercise routine. Thank you so much for everything! WE use it everywhere now. So get your treats!
