Great hiking poles, easy to assemble once you know how. They fold up small enough to put in travel case or attach to my backpack. I have only used them up to 600m but found them sturdy and reliable to take my weight when climbing down steep rocks and uneven ground. I'm 5'5" and they are a good length for me. They are lovely and light, comfortable on the hands and lock securely as long as you follow the instructions.

I’m really impressed by these cheap poles. I usually use expensive Leki poles, but wanted something small enough to go inside my rucksack if I’m scrambling or rock climbing. I didn’t want to buy lighter, but much more expensive, carbon fibre poles, as I didn’t feel I’d use them often enough. (I mainly planned to use my robust aluminium Leki poles still.) Putting these together, I was immediately impressed by how well-made they are. They actually feel slightly lighter than my Leki’s, but pack down to a much shorter length, so they will easily fit inside my rucksack. I’m 5’3”, and have preferred to use trekking poles set at a single length for 30 years now (regardless of whether I’m going up or downhill). The shortest setting on these (buying the shorter length option) feels very slightly longer than I’d usually set my Leki’s, but they will be far better than not being able to take poles with me. The handles feel comfortable, and I like that they came with a wide variety of pole end options, Velcro to keep the folded poles together, and a handy storage bag to carry them in. It is easy to snap the pole sections together, and the resulting poles are stable and sturdy.

I've definitely owned far better fold up poles, but I also paid 4 times the price for them. These are not super light weight, super sturdy, but for the price they are a very good option. Grip is very comfortable, they are easily to use and should stand up to your average hill walkers usage. Having broke many poles, in my opinion you won't find a super sturdy option that also fold up. These will pack into a rucksack nicely and as I said be a very good option for the price you pay.

I bought these to replace a pair that I bought in a charity shop. They were fine, but had a twist-lock that (i) wasn't very secure and (ii) was sometimes the devil's own job to release. There are lightweight and have a very positive lock. The lock is also very easy to release. That means they're either (i) locked solid and therefore safe to put your full weight on if needs be or (ii) unlocked for folding. They are very quick and easy to both deploy and fold down. In use, they feel very comfortable and certainly do make walking a bit easier and quicker. The conventional wisdom is that you can use Nordic walking poles for trekking, but not trekking poles for Nordic walking. These are trekking poles. I have no idea what the difference between the two walking styles is and (being indifferent to organised walking groups) have no interest in finding out. (I'm a grumpy old bugger and don't want to be bored to death by retired primary headteachers or social workers.) But what I can say, is that these are an excellent walking aid when travelling the footpaths and hilly areas of Britain. There are four points to bear in mind: 1 - when off-road, remove the rubber tip and use the metal end for much better grip. 2 - take very great care to make sure that the stick is well behind your foot or you'll almost certainly trip yourself up. 3 - watch a few YouTube instructional videos and learn how to use the poles properly and safely. It will take you a few hours to become fully used to them. 4 - and this is VERY important ... grip the poles as advised. If you do it right, you can use your hands to arrest a fall in safety; do it wrong and you can guarantee a dislocated or broken thumb if you fall. A word of warning about which length you buy: take the recommended measurements seriously. I'm a tad shorter than recommended for the longer ones, but I bought them anyway. Don't make the same mistake! These are just about comfortable for me on their very shortest length. If you are less than 5' 6", get the shorter ones.

Very nice poles, comfortable and appear to be well finished with quality connectors. They seem to be robust but I haven’t used them long enough to compare with previous poles. Very good value for money.

Telescopic poles collapsing on you when coming down a mountain? Carbon fibre ones shattering? Not good when you got 100 litres on your back. These maybe a few grams heavier, but the construction is key. The sections "butt" against each other, which means they cannot collapse on you which is brilliant. Aluminium, so they're not gonna shatter. The only concern is to make certain the clamp is properly tightened..... easy done! Grips feel like cork. Though cork is easily dented and damaged. Too many people scream about cork but the FACT is, with today's technology, there is no difference whatsoever (do the research). In terms of abuse and longevity, they will outlast cork. They actually feel warm to grip and feel just like cork too. Very small and compact. I carry a fair bit weight, I'm not one of these lightweights (if your a grams freak them look elsewhere). I wanted something reliable to put full body weight on while carrying a fully laden 100litre Sabre Bergen coming up and down mountains in the Lake District. These poles I trust. They won't shatter or collapse on me, the few extra grams is irrelevant compared to my safety. They are very compact and sturdy and what I consider to be light considering my load. I'm 5'7" and 14 stone and bought the shorter ones. I'm glad I did. I nearly bought the longer ones but consider climbing upward and down. Altering the length is at the top only. I would say if your over 5'10 get the bigger ones. Below the shorter is perfect. For thirty quid these are an absolute gift. Trekology really got this one nailed. Funny how you can have these for thirty pounds yet it's twenty pounds for their pillow. Go figure!! I'd say grab em before they're gone!! Well worth it. £100+ for poles is ridiculous and unnecessary.

This is my 1st purchase of walking poles so I didn't want to pay a lot in case they were not practical. However , they have made hiking a lot easier , taking the strain/ pain off my arthritic knees.They are quite compact / light and fit in a small backpack. I will invest in better quality poles now as these have come apart numerous times when used, especially in boggy ground or caught in-between rocks/ stones.

Overall these are very well made. Came on Friday and used for serious hiking that weekend. Just a couple of things to note. I wanted to use large ferrules I already had and liked (They do come with good ferrule selection that look well made) and noted they were a loose fit so used PTFE tape and small ziplock around outside before pushing on and they were fine. More importantly I'm about 5'11". My ideal length for previous poles is 110cm 43". The suggestions are that is too short for my height but 43" is what suited me on all terrain, climbing and descending. I took a gamble and bought the larger 115cm to 135cm thinking there would be some leeway. There isnt. The lower setting really is 115cm/45". I'm ok with this, The adjustable clip is at its lowest setting so cant slide anywhere and the clip can stay a little looser as result (previous poles clips have split). The little extra length is better for downhill. All in all apart form these minor things they are great, well made, well designed and satisfying to use. Handles feel like real cork and are light but strong. I think they will last for many years used how they're intended.

...ma attenti al punto debole: il cavo in Kevlar che si usura facilmente.

Used these a few times now, mostly for moderate difficulty walking trails. They've been solid and reliable. They stay at the adjusted length with no problems, and it is easy enough to collapse them down and store in the pack when climbing or otherwise not needing them while out on a trail. The poles are comfortable to use, although the wrist straps can get in the way a bit if you just want to hold them without the wrist strap around your wrist. The straps can chaff a little on the webbing between your thumb and finger if you hold it too close to the top. If it bothered me enough, I'd cut them off, but so far I've adjusted how I hold them and it hasn't been a big enough problem for me to worry about.
