100% Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles by USA Brand - Ultra Strong Lightweight Collapsible Hiking Poles with Cork and EVA Foam Grips & Quick Adjustable Flip Locks

I didn't realize how good this pair of trekking poles is until I bought another pair of Black Diamond ones about the same price. I started appreciate this one's lightness in weight as compare to Black Diamond's 40% heavier with aluminum material; this one's easiness of adjusting the tightness with a simple twist instead of using a screwdriver for the Black Diamond one; this one's simpleness to unlock with a lift instead of pushing hard into a small contact area that hurts your finger from Black Diamond one. I bought a similar one a year ago which stood much abuse from heavy usage in hiking. It broke at the tip when I accidentally push into a crack of a rock and took out with force. I really don't blame this product as none would stand that amount of brute force without breaking. This product is sturdy, light, easy to adjust. I highly recommend it to everyone!

I purchased a pair for my wife and I to use for local hikes and mountain trails. We've hiked without sticks for years, probably due to my sense of not wanting to come off as feeble. After all, we didn't use them in the Marines, why would I start now? Boy was I missing out! Using these have made our hiking experiences far more enjoyable! Rather than working as hard to gain a foot hold or easing slowly down a slippery hill, we are both able to make steady "three points of contact" that makes traveling rocky terrain, slippery hills, and steep trails so much easier and fun to conquer! As far as the sticks themselves, I did a lot of research before purchasing and found these to be the biggest bang for my buck. They are super lightweight! Actually surprisingly so, yet they are very strong and steady! The locking mechanisms have never slipped even when I drive the tips hard down into the earth to get a firm grip! The cork hand grips are very comfortable along with a nice rubber mound topper that I use at times to lean on when going down hills. Granted, I'm not a highly experienced cross country hiker, but I cannot imagine what the big name brand sticks could improve on over these that would justify paying pay 2x or 3x the price! My wife and I absolutely love these sticks! They make us feel like a pair of Billy goats! Don't hesitate to pull the trigger on these. I'm betting you'll love them too!

It's exactly as described by the seller. The material it's made of is really amazing and durable. I used the poles on a very demanding route and loved them. The cork handle is very comfortable, the stability is excellent, and what I liked most was that the locking lever is secure and can be adjusted while walking. It's really a very good investment.

These poles are light-weight and strong. They are easy to adjust. One down-side is that they need to be adjusted each time they are used after having been collapsed, but they have markings that make this pretty easy.

extremely lite. They lock in place very well and stay there. Though I have not put them to use yet I have tested load bearing and no slippage. Once I use them I will be back.

These are fantastic poles! I have put 1000+ miles on mine -- the rubber feet have worn out (expected) .. but the poles are still going strong. Great price for a great pair of lightweight poles.

I had to write a review as these poles were a godsend on two recent major backpacking trips. I bought two sets of these poles for an upcoming trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons National Parks that my husband and I were going to be taking this summer. We were hiking up Mount Washburn which goes to 10,000 ft and were recommended to have trekking poles. We both found these poles very easy to adjust to our individual needs. By adjusting the tension on the screws and then snapping closed the tab the poles could be easily locked into place without slipping. Mostly they were useful for reducing stress on joints as we climbed and the wrist straps gave great support without over taxing the arms. Our hike was about 4 hours long (up and down) and most of the terrain was gravel. There are two types of feet (knob and walking foot) to put on the spiked tips. Both were useful. I personally liked the walking rubber feet on the gravelly incline but when it got steeper I removed the rubber tips and went with the spikes for better traction. We also added the snow baffles on since there were parts of the hike that had snow in July and they functioned well preventing the pole from sinking too deep into the snow. On another more recent backpacking trip to Isle Royale National Park in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan these poles were by far the best piece of equipment besides good hiking boots. There is NO way I could have done this trip without my poles. These Hunger Hiker 2.0 poles stood up to the rocky and muddy terrain of the Rock Harbor trail and throughout all the park trails. I used the round knobs for stability on the rock and ground. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and I lost (but found) a tip in the mud when I put my pole into mud and it literally created such suction that I pulled the tip off. I fished it out though so that was great, but then after I got stuck in a squat position grabbing for it with my pack on and my husband came to my rescue and ended up losing BOTH his tips the same way! Lesson learned...keep extra tips on hand....we just ordered more just in case. Also don’t go into a full deep squat with a 40 lb pack ...lol!!! These poles were a great investment and at a decent price much less than some of the name brands in expensive outdoor stores. The poles have held up well to two solid backpacking adventures over gravel, rock, mud and trails. I can recommend these poles for anyone new to trekking poles and wanting a solid product at a decent price. The wrist strips are adjustable, comfortable and sturdy. They come with a nice storage bag that straps nicely to the side of a backpack and also travels nicely on an airplane. We store the poles with the rubber tips on so they don’t poke through the bag. One recommendation is to wear some sort of padded fingerless gloves for extra protection on long hikes. They gave an even better grip on the cork handles and held the trailing end of the wrist straps snuggly against the cork grip without creating blisters. I found that especially useful claiming up rocky bouldered terrain.

These poles are exactly as advertised. They are strong, light weight, easily adjusted and very easily broken down for cleaning and storage. They are a quality product! Excellent! And worth every $!

Muy recomendados

Ces bâtons semblent vraiment très bien fabriqués. Ils possèdent de nombreuses qualités qu'on retrouve d'habitude seulement chez des bâtons haut de gamme. Entre autres, ils sont très légers car ils sont en fibre de carbone. Les poignées sont en mousse et les dragonnes sont ajustables et offrent un support plus large au niveau des poignets. On peut rapidement ajuster et verrouiller les sections des bâtons grâce à leurs systèmes de verrouillage à leviers rabattables. Comme cet achat est récent, il restera à déterminer si, après usage, ils sauront être assez robustes afin de résister longtemps sans subir de bris.

Great product helps a lot with my MS and balance my physio suggested poles instead of my walking stick much better for me so lightweight love them

Cuesta un poco ajustarlos, pero una vez que queda firme, quedan totalmente seguros. Funcionan bien en terreno tipo piedra, pasto y barro. Son muy livianos.

Très bon produit
