By GasTank from Carrboro, NC on 08/27/2009 What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought these for my girlfriend, she found them easy to use but collapse easy during first few uses. They arrived with the wrist strap unattached but was able to fix that fairly easily. They are light and stable.

Comfortable, light, impressive stix. By Summit Seeker from Kalipsell, MT on 08/12/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Flexible, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Used these poles for a 2 day aggressive 25 mile hike in Glacier National Park. Loved them! They were lightweight, easily collapsible and thankfully stabilizing enough to keep me on my feet in 60 mph wind gusts at the pass!
By Celtic climber from Minnesota on 07/22/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking, Not tried backpacking yet Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My wife has older knees and hands with a touch of arthritis. The pole grips are small enough for her hands, and when held correctly, i.e., with most weight on her wrists and hands on grips in a loose O configuration, the poles will provide relief for knees and hands. These should work well for hiking in Denali in Alaska.
Repeat purchase & recommended to friend By AZ Hiker girl from Prescott Valley, AZ on 07/07/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Flexible, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Accidentally left my last pair (which I have had for several years) when I was packing up after my last hike. I immediately went on line and found another pair. Of course Sierra had the best deal. My hiking buddy was so impressed with how well they functioned, even in water, she had me buy her a pair too! They save wear and tear on my knees and have saved me from a fall more than once. They are so light and pack up so compact, they are really easy to carry. I love them.

By Adventure woman from Denver, CO on 04/19/2009 Cons: Collapses Too Easily Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Hurt my knee last year so finally had to get some trekking poles. These were lightweigt and collapse to a good, short length. First time used, the compass fell out. Then they collapsed when I didn't want them to. They are impossible to adjust once cold, so use for snowshoeing is out. They will be going back.
By Suzeey from Southern Highlands Australia on 04/14/2009 Pros: Compact for stowing, Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I use a trekking pole when walking on steep downhill grades, river & creek crossings and rocky terrain. These poles are very lightweight and retract nice & short for out-of-the-way stowage on my day or overnight pack when not required. I love them and have bought them before.
Just what the doctor ordered By The Manic Gardener from Bozeman, MT on 09/22/2008 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: All-purpose, Backpacking, Car Camping, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have arthritic and increasingly unreliable knees, so reliable poles are a must. I've now used these poles on a strenuous backpacking trip (lots of vertical) and on occasional day hikes, and I love them. So does my mother, who borrowed one over a tricky spot in a trail and said it made all the difference. The poles live in the side pouch of my day pack, where they ride unnoticed, they're so light. Their straps adjust quickly and easily to accomodate bulky gloves or smaller hands, and the poles themselves also telescope or collapse swiftly and (so far) only when directed to. These poles are exactly what I hoped for.
