By Dave from Ohio on 11/14/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I had mine for several years before someone stole it. I immediately purchased a new one. I use it to aid my walking as I have a neurological disease that causes me to lose my balance. It is super lightweight, easily collapsible, and very strong. It has held me up when I have tripped (I weigh 250 pounds) and the the shock absorbing-action is great. I highly recommend it.

I DID HAVE TO REMOVE THE STRAP (NO SWEAT) AND BUY A RUBBER TIP (ON SALE FROM SIERRA) FOR IT SINCE I WALK MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND SPEND MOST OF MY TIME ON SIDEWALKS AND STREETS. BEING A CANCER PATIENT ON CHEMO, I GO THROUGH PERIODS WHEN I'M REALLY FATIGUED. THIS CANE IS SO LIGHT AND STRONG, I DON'T EVEN NEED TO CHANGE HANDS.
Definitely Walking Pole vs Trekking Pole By Patagonia Trekker from Fredericksburg, VA on 08/25/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought this to see how small I could collapse it in order to fit in my carry-on bag without having to check in my luggage at the airport. I was experimenting with using it for my hiking and backpacking trips. Write up said 19 inches. It's really 21 inches long in collapsed mode. But even at it's full extension, it's really only a walking pole and not suited as a hiking or trekking pole. Also, not rugged enough for trekking (poles were bending under pressure if used to help hoist youself up steep steps or embankments.
better than straight walking sticks By dog hiker from mt shasta, calif on 08/21/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight Cons: Can pull out beyond limit Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Walking around town Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: i originally bought one a year or so ago....i thought it came in pairs like walking sticks.It comes as single..not a pair. But i still liked how i could walk with it like a cane or like a walking stick.
Only down fall was it was easy to pull beyond the limit when adjusting. I was walking in some reeds and it got caught and pulled it in half...so was broken.
I just now ordered 4 more...two for me and two for husband. We both have arthritis in our feet/ankle area so we really need help walking. Both of us have so far found we really enjoy the use of the cane feature as well as using it as walking stick.
i just warn him not to pull it beyond...and not to use in thick reed mud!!
But i use it everyday while walking dogs around a lake. It is also just much nicer than regular cane around town too.
By Yellow Bird from Kelseyville, CA on 08/17/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, The anti-shock works, The handle feels nice Best Uses: Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very happy with my purchase.
Be careful extending to the full length as it is easy to pull it completely apart (it goes back together just as easily).
