By Bob from Decatur, GA on 01/19/2009 Pros: Beautiful, Easy to adjust, Flexible, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Walking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The poles are a hiker's dream. Add the rubber tips and they become a walker's dream as well. Strong and light, adjustable not only to your personal height and comfort, but also to the terrain you are crossing. Great price too, as I have come to expect from the Sierra Trading Post.
By Marty the hiker from Flagstaff, AZ on 01/19/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Cons: Collapses Too Easily Best Uses: Backpacking, Cross-country skiing, Day trip, Hiking, Snow shoeing Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had some trouble with the poles collapsing. I probably need to learn to set them better. I could use a little more length, though they are within range of what I need.
By Cheesehead Snowshoer from Holy Hill, WI on 01/16/2009 Pros: Amazing design, Easy to adjust, 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: These are an incredible feat of engineering! Both the locking mechanism and the on/off for the anti-shock are enabled by simply twisting the pole blanks. It even has arrows on the shaft. No tabs to break or notches to fumble with; everything is internal in the pole. Twist the blanks to tighten, and once secure, the anti-shock is turned on/off with a short, positive click. I think all the reviews for 'collapses too easy' are because they misinterpreted the anti-shock 'click' to mean the pole should be tight. Can't figure it out? Have a kid show you! :) I have used these for snowshoeing with the snow baskets on in -10 degrees F, and no slipping at all. If I can only resist the temptation to take them apart and see how they did it. GREAT POLES!

You just have to make sure they are secure after adjusting. My first trek with them, the one pole collapsed several times until I was able to get it tight enough.
By Nickname from New Castle, CO on 01/08/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Snoeshoeing Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These trekking poles are very useful. I have been using them this winter while snowshoeing and have found them to be very useful. They will collapse if they are not tightened properly. When they are tightened appropriately, they are very stable. I haven't used them yet in the summer, but I feel they will be very useful when climbing the mountains here in Colorado.
