I only travel with a carry on suitcase with the 4 wheels. These are to long even when they are the smallest to fit in my carry on.

Great quality. Lots of attachments for different terrains if needed. Light but durable. Love that it came with a little flashlight! :)

very good product, no complain,recommend

Very user friendly for adjustments.

Im honestly writing this review because they sent me a picture of a raccoon (big fan) asking for a recommendation. I might not have, because god knows our only value to our new AI overlords is how we rate things on a 1 to 5 system and Ive been playing hard to get lately. But! This note came with a fanny pack! Its pretty dope too. Big ups for the useful swag. Anyway, my review of the poles are as follows: I would recommend buying these poles as a first time user. They are inexpensive and functional. For some unblessed reason hiking poles jump from this price to +$99 and usually hover around $150. I assume it is for weight and the quality of components but, lets be honest, there isnt $20 dollars worth of materials in any of these things. For the record Ive used these poles for about 40 miles over 3 hikes thus far. Handles: I like the cork handles over that other stuffy black material that they use. It reminds me of having to sit on the floor in 2nd grade next to the chalk board and getting schmutz on my hands. I didnt come out to the mountains to feel Im still in timeout for talking too much. TLDR I think the cork is better. It is dry however, I think Im going to get vasoline on my hands and see if I can work it in a little bit. Straps: Im new to poles and have been trying different techniques to make their use easier. Dont you laugh. That being said, the straps are a very basic material that has been effective so far. I am bothered by the fact that they are eternally uneven as they used the same unidirectional strap for each side. Ive thought about replacing them but am more likely to just buy different poles in the future. Shaft: Pretty basic. They seem light enough to me. Im 250 pounds with a full pack so Id prefer to have studier construction over lightweight in this case. Ive been on snow, gravel, dirt and roots thus far and havent noticed them bend. They are in need of stickers however :) Hardware: The poles extend or retract in two sections which are fastened by a screw to pre-tighten a locking latch. They appear to be metal enough that I havent had too much trouble with them. Cheap hardware is one of the greatest nuisances. I think that Ive only had them come loose twice. The first time I attribute to user error and the second time I forcefully shoved the pole into the ground. IDK what I was doing, likely I didnt like the way a bug was looking at me. In any case, they hold pretty well considering my weight and occasional rage. Baskets: This part was a little disappointing for me. The threading for the baskets is cheap plastic and it wasnt long before I got a pole stuck and subsequently ripped the smaller of the two sets of baskets right from the pole. Now the connector piece is stuck on the pole and the basket is useless. I wish better components were used in this area. It seems obvious that people are going to get a pole stuck at some point and losing an important component which you cant switch out is a big loss. This is the area where I really felt that I got what I paid for with a cheaper set of poles. For now though, Ive gone back to the rubber nubs and its been ok. Conclusion: If you are a beginner like me, its nuts to spend $200 on poles. Give a pair like this a shot to figure out what you like with this piece of equipment for serious hiking in the future, if you like using poles at all (word up to you crazy mountain spandex/trail runners only people), or if the couch is your mountain and you just need poles for the Instagram hikes that happen once a year. Personally, using poles has changed the way I see hiking and Im glad to have these ones for the moment. Thanks for the fanny pack.

I gave my husband a pair of these poles for his birthday and he loves them! They are very easy to adjust and secure, comfortable to grip, and look terrific. Couldnt ask for more.

Everything is working as normal except I had to superglue both the bottom clamps on both poles, Besides that perferct.

We bought these for my boyfriend as he has a bad knee and we are getting ready to hike some national parks. Took them out for a trial run in some local places and he was super impressed!!! These are very easy to adjust and the pavement, rock bottom grippers are awesome! My boyfriend felt much less pressure on his knees and he was able to go further then normal hiking. We are so glad to have gotten these from a small company and appreciate the care they put into their product and packaging!

Nice, conform, looks strong, with fanny pack as extra gift..

Good quality.
