Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Hiking & Trekking Poles - Balance Support for Seniors, Women, and Men, 2pc Per Set

Purchased these to use for the Camino de Santiago. Trip began in St Jean Pied de Port and went 7 weeks to Santiago de Compostela. OMG! I did not realize how much I really needed these. Upon our first day started using them and really helped me for balance. As the days continued and we climbed mountains and hills, the poles were a great support. I am 5’2” and was able to adjust them for my right. Great versatility and sturdiness. Material is good and it y was able to hold my weight of 120 lbs. the poles were easy to collapse and put together. They folded down into my backpack easily and also was able to put them in the suitcase. They did well walking through the Pyrenees, steps, gravel and dirt. They are lightweight and will be taking them in my climb up the pyramid next year.

After much research I decided on these poles and am so happy I did. For a mid 70's lady with bad knees these work great! It's like having two hands to hold onto. They are balanced and intuitive to use right off the bat. Easy to put together and adjust to the proper height. Very well made, nice looking and sturdy. I use them for both walking in our uneven ground in the forest and city sidewalks and asphalt streets. I feel much more safe on my walks now and these poles are a real pleasure to use.Apart from how pleased I am with these poles the customer service is very prompt, nice and helpful. I highly recommend these poles!

These are very decent folding trekking poles for a reasonable price as far as I can tell - but many people don't appear to read or understand the instructions well (watching YT video helps) and leave negative reviews, which I think is not always deserved. The pole has a total of 5 sections: main fixed part (with grips), 2nd extendible part that slides into the main part (for adjustable length), held in place with a squeeze clip, and 3 fixed folding sections of which the upper section slides into the extendible part above. These need to be unfolded and extended to their maximum length and locked in place (at fixed length) with a click button. A cable runs through the 4 sections that as a whole can be removed from the main section. If you don't set this up right, sections may seem loose or broken, but that happens if something is really broken inside. I think this risk is similar for other folding poles that I have been comparing, and there might also be issues with the button that some complain collapses inside the pole. The quality of all parts can vary between various brands, but these Trekology poles seem pretty good to me and I like the color blue. Unfortunately I need to return them, because the grip is EVA foam, made to look like cork, and not real cork (which is what I want). The loops are thinner and more flexible than other poles so they are softer but it is harder to get your hands through them. The cable through the poles is thicker than in other poles. I would have kept these poles if it weren't for the EVA grips.

I am in my late 70s, 4’11” , minimal weight and still active and want to travel to areas that have uneven terrain and challenging activities. I needed a better pole than the budget ones I have had for years that were heavy and didn’t fold up and pack well. I also had a recent increase in arthritis pain in one knee only. Fortunately, it was not requiring surgery . Working closely with my Orthopedic Dr. and a rehabilitation specialist I came to seek out wonderful information on how to adjust and use poles properly to stay out of pain !!!!!!!! while hiking and walking . I am a person who doesn’t want to take pain meds . I can , but would prefer not to. I am currently receiving injections but it is not certain if it will help . In the meantime, not wanting to stop traveling or being active , I did a great deal of research , watched videos and purchased these “Trekology Z hiking poles.” They are lightweight, very packable and extremely comfortable and easy to use. For me, they are a ultimate lifesaver! well made and fit my budget, activities , lifestyle and minimalist packing goals. They are extremely well made and sturdy. Thank you Trekology for recognizing there are seniors who are still active! Update Did some serious trekking on lava rock paths while in Galapagos, wow , This did not fail to impress. packed well, no security problems and I was really pleased.

Lightweight and fits into a carry on and on the sides of a backpack. These went to Hawaii with me! Great hiking poles and easy to assemble.

The TREKOLOGY Trek-Z hiking poles have completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I took them out of the package, I could tell they were built with real attention to detail. I love the collapsible, tri-fold design—it makes packing a breeze, whether I’m heading out on a backpacking trip or just throwing them in my carry-on for a hiking getaway. What really impressed me is how lightweight yet strong they are. I’ve used them on steep, rocky trails, and they’ve given me incredible support and stability. The height adjustment is smooth and secure, which makes it easy to adapt to different terrain—or let someone else use them. When adjusting the height, they lock in place. The ergonomic cork handles are a standout feature for me. They mold perfectly to my hands and do a great job wicking away sweat, which keeps things comfortable on long hikes. The padded wrist straps reduce strain and keep the poles in place without rubbing. I also really appreciate the variety of tips that come with the poles. Whether I’m dealing with mud, snow, or rocky ground, I’ve got the right attachment to stay confident and steady. It makes these poles super versatile no matter the season or trail conditions. I couldn’t be happier with the Trek-Z poles. They offer a great balance of quality, comfort, and value. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced hiker, I’d definitely recommend them for your next adventure.

I purchased two sets of these poles for me and my wife. They arrived very quickly, just days after ordering. They collapse to a size that fit nicely in our daypacks. We purchased these walking sticks and used them for the Camino de Santiago, a 800 km trek (pilgrimage) across Spain. These poles performed flawlessly, were sturdy, and folded to a compact size when needed to store in our packs. My wife and I found that these poles assembled and disassembled easily and were very comfortable to use and extremely supportive while walking our trek. The soft and adjustable hand straps made gripping the poles comfortable. My wife and I never experienced hand or grip fatigue, using these poles for our entire journey. There is also a strip of Velcro attached to each pole which made stowing the poles in a collapsed state easy. Three of the sections are a fixed length with a fourth section that locks into an adjustable length using a quick release lever. The only downside to these poles we experienced was a black aluminum dust that developed on the connecting points, which if we didn't wipe of periodically would get on our hands and clothes when disassembling or assembling the poles. I found these Mobility Aides as I call them, a great value for the money and a welcomed piece of equipment for any hike.

Really helped me walking. I used them at them for getting to the beach. Felt sturdy. Easy to set up and put away. Word of advice…don’t use them in the surf! I almost stabbed my partner’s foot!

Works very well and folds up to very small and fits in suitcase but a) difficult to assemble b) if not perfectly assembled it is inclined to slide up and down

Portable yet Sturdy. Rugged Material and good length (i bought 135cm version). Also it's light weight. Excellent addition to my gear.

MAterailes muy ligeros y resistentes. Esteticamente destacable. Muy Facil de armar en 2 sencillos pasos. Solo se necesita ver algun video de armado ya que , practicamente no hay que hacer nada solo conectar un extremo con otro y que los seguros de sujeción se ajusten correctamente.

Excelente producto, buena calidad. Son tan como en la imagen. Los usé para un ultra de 50Km y me funcionaron a la perfección.

Lightweight; sturdy; adjustable length; good value for money. Walking upright, securely.
