## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Awesome
  

*by W***A on Reviewed in the United States on 30 April 2023*

These trekking poles are awesome. Super lightweight. I'm a big guy (240 lbs.) and I've been using them for a while. They have yet to collapse under my weight while I'm hiking. They have saved me from many falls. The cork handles are the best. The only thing that I think could be improved is the tab that holds the wrist strap in place could have rounded edges as it sometimes jabs the webbing of your hand between the thumb and index finger.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good quality for value
  

*by P***L on Reviewed in the United States on 17 January 2023*

This is my go to pole for short hikes, sometimes use solo or together

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Really great trekking poles, which a top-of-the-line locking mechanism.
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on 2 April 2023*

If you're like me and much prefer the simplicity/streamlined twist-lock style trekking pole more than the seemingly more popular clamp lock, these poles will make you happy. Leaps and bounds better than the ZPacks UL twist-lock trekking poles (mediocre locking mechanism that you have to twist and twist and twist in order to adjust). The locking mechanism is so good and smooth and easy to adjust, and locks firmly where you want. These poles are UL, but WAY stronger/sturdier than the flimsy ZPacks poles. I wasn't blown away by the foam grips on these, nor the minimalist straps, and would have preferred cork handles. Ultimately, I ended up returning only because I compared them with the Cascade Mountain Tech UL 2-Section poles, and those felt like they had a slightly better swing balance/felt lighter in my hands than these, and as a non-muscular human who's obsessed with UL, I prefer lighter weight (although I think the weight on these two sets is almost the same, the latter 'felt' lighter when walking around indoors at my place). If I had not compared the two, I would have kept these and been very happy with their sturdy yet UL build. If the other ones fail me on the trail, I'll likely re-buy these and give them a fair go.
