TheFitLife Telescopic Trekking Poles, Anti-Shock Walking Sticks for Hiking | Non-Folding Telescopic 65 -130cm with Twist Lock for Easy Adjustment, Unisex Design for Men, Women, Kids and Seniors

These trekking poles feel solid and well-finished straight from the box, with lightweight aluminium shafts and comfortable, ergonomic grips. The quick-lock mechanism adjusts smoothly and holds firmly without slipping during use. The included straps and carbide tips are well-made and add to the overall sense of quality. On the trail and out and about, the anti-shock system noticeably reduces impact on descents, making long walks and uneven terrain more comfortable. They collapse and extend easily to suit varied step lengths, and the poles balance well without feeling unwieldy. Whether walking, hiking or backpacking, they provide stable support and confidence underfoot. After repeated outings, the locks remain secure and the poles show minimal wear, even in wet or muddy conditions. For the price, they offer strong performance and durability compared with many basic poles. A dependable choice for regular walkers and weekend hikers alike.

just walked up ben nevis with these,so they had a really hard test!! we used the foot type fitting ,which was perfect and never moved at all for 6 hours of tough use. great value for money!!!!

For the price they are fantastic and really strong, capable poles with a large number of attachments for all terrain that work well. You could take these up any mountain in the UK, even in winter (with appropriate other winter gear) and not be let down by the strength or quality in my opinion. I've found that once adjusted to a certain height they do stay that height, and the shock absorption system is very welcome and works well. Additionally they are not too large when compacted and fit in a rucksack side bottle pocket no issue (when secured from the top also). I've used them both for ascending/descending as I've a historic ankle injury and they do help me not go over on it again on rocky or uneven ground, as well as taking some load off your knees on longer trips. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because compared to more other poles they have a couple of shortcomings: 1. I find the handles a little uncomfortable on my largish hands on extended use - unless your hand fits the handle profile exactly you will find some part of the handle digs into it somewhere. This is made worse because they use a fairly hard plastic handle instead of cork or foam like others. 2. Similarly, most serious trekking poles have the strap adjustment mechanism where the strap attaches to the handle such that you have nothing digging into your hands, and no fold in the strap that could irritate your hands over a long walk. Here it's a standard plastic buckle midway through the strap that has a tendency to dig in, and also becomes looser over time. 3. These trekking poles must be screwed/unscrewed to adjust the length and if you are average height you will need to extend both sections. This means whenever you want to adjust the length it's 4 lots of unscrewing and screwing to do between the two poles which is a little time consuming and fiddly while trying to hold the other one while on the go. Since the height is ideally adjusted for the ascent, flat, and descent, you can be doing this quite often depending on the trail. Other poles have a quick release system which is much faster to adjust. All in all they're a great starter or emergency pair of poles. If you plan to have them attached to your rucksack 99% of the time in case you roll an ankle, or you're only carrying them to provide support to your trekking pole based tent, they'll be absolutely fine. Similarly if you plan to use them predominantly on the flat and/or for shorter walks of a couple of hours you'll have no issue. And they're cheap enough you can buy them to see if you like walking with poles before shelling out for some slightly more expensive ones. One thing I hadn't realised when I originally wrote this review is that you can fix all of the shortcomings I just wrote about by buying this brand's more expensive poles, either the 35 quid or 45 quid pair which is a little more but probably worth it if any of these issues will bother you. Now I've already bought these I will stick with them rather than buying another pair but its good to know there are some more capable, still reasonably priced, options.

Excellent product. Very light weight, adjusts easily and looks smart. Would buy again.

Two good, sturdy poles, with a whole host of "extras" in the way of protectors for the bottom of the poles and to ensure good grip on a variety of different surfaces. A fine purchase, in my opinion.

These are brilliant poles and a very reasonable price and good quality too. They have all the attachments you need for all weather's and terrain.

Easy to use and much more sturdy than some cheaper alternatives. Handy additional pole ends to suit all walking terrain. The bag means they are easy to transport around and to store away when not in use. Colour matched the description and the handles are really comfortable.

Great to help me walk, as I have osteoarthritis, good and strong, light to use, nice colour , easy to adjust to the right height.

Me han encantado, por el poco espacio que usan plegados. Pueden meterlo en los bolsillos laterales de la mochila. Resistentes y muy prácticos. Una buena compra.

初めてポールを購入しました。 このお値段にしてはなかなか良いです。 まだ2回しか使用していませんが、軽いし、使いやすいです。 耐久性はまだなんともいえませんが、今の所大満足です。
