LEKI Diva Trekking Poles - Pair, Anti-Shock (For Women)

Product was excellent. Anti-shock system was really good for going down rugged terrain. I had some issues with the twist system adjustments. It would often refuse to tighten when extended but I eventually figured out a trick to get it working properly again.

I live and hike mostly in the Rockies, and have old(er) knees. When I finally broke down and decided to purchase some trekking poles I settled on these. They're mostly great so far. Collapse easily. Grip size & angle work well. Very slight shock absorption is a nice bonus. Light weight yet strong. Tips hold surfaces well. One pole is hard to re-tighten after I adjust it, requiring an odd sequence of actions I haven't perfected yet, but the other is no problem. So I'm not sure if it's me or the pole. Overall, though, these are doing exactly what I need and doing it well.

Have used these poles once since I got them & I love them! Went on a steep 3 mile hike in CO & realized what I've been missing - I am 5'2" & what a difference poles make!

these poles worked really well with our backpacking trip. we backpacked up to 8,000 ft with different terrains: rocks, boulders, dirt trails, crossed small steams & a huge river. the poles made the climb up much easier & allowed balance. the anti-shock system was a wonderful perk. the poles were light enough to carry throughout the hike, easy to adjust & the locking system worked throughout the trip. i did not need to re-adjust the poles during our 5 hour hike. the grips to the handles were soft & comfortable. overall a great set of poles!

While I have had the poles collapse once on a steeper slope, I suspect that I had not tightened them securely at the outset. Great on the ascent and descent.

The diva pole is very light weight and I bought it for the titanium and the anti shock so you know that it will hold up well comfortably. Extremely light weight. The handle however is weird. The index-finger knob has a raised ridge line that drops down to the wrist ledge. I have long fingers and that ridge is kind of uncomfortable underneath my finer pads, but I'm keeping them. I like the foam. My hands don't blister or slip so all is good.

I have some proprioceptive issues. Using these poles made hiking a pleasure...even over uneven terrain.

Great

A quality product

The poles were an excellent choice. The are easy to set up, lightweight yet sturdy on the trails. The grips fit my hands very well making using them very comfortable on long hikes through the mountain trails. I use them both on the mountain trails and neighborhood walks. They provide relief on my joints especially going up/down hills.
