By stefrrr from Florida on 08/14/2008 Pros: 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: These poles are for an upcoming 3 week trip. I've used them around the neighborhood a bit, and the grips are very comfortable. The way the adjustments work is pretty cool and feels very secure. It comes with summer baskets. They're a little tricky to get on, then nearly impossible (well, completely impossible so far) to get off. I put them on to check it out, then tried to take them off, and I can't. Only put them on if you need them.
These are a great deal on a good quality, comfortable, lightweight pole.
Not the best , but a good value By src from san jose, ca on 08/03/2008 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 have been meaning to try trekking poles and I checked out some high end poles. However, I picked these since I had no previous experience with poles.
These are on the light side, but have no sock (After using these for a while, I think this is a non issue). For the money, these are excellent. I expect that I will ultimately purchase a set of GO-LITE fixed poles for ultra light weight backpacking

I used these in Kenya on a mission trip when I was having some knee problems. Easy to pack too.

These did not slip at the joints. Grips are comfy. Easy to adjust quickly. Wife and I shared them. Slid in to a pattern of 2 steps for every reach of the pole and worked great on the ascent. I used them when my young boy to tired on the ascent and gave him a ride. Could really feel the difference on the quads going uphill in the Rockies.
By Doc and Jackie from Canon City, Colorado on 07/23/2008 Pros: 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: Product adjusted quite easily and held without slipping. Sustained heavy use of a 24 round trip mile on Marshal Pass in Colorado Rockies. Light weight and the Cork Handles were not slippery and did not cause blisters. They were tough in the rocks of Gray Creek on the way up. A GREAT PRODUCT!!!

Solid and effective hiking helper By Rez from Colorado Springs, CO on 06/01/2008 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight Cons: Collapses Too Easily Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: My 14 year old son and I used these poles during a May 08 rain and snow shortened attempted through-hike of the 113 mile Centennial Trail in South Dakota's Black Hills. The terrain varied from flat prairies to steep and rocky ascents/descents. We had to cross numerous fast moving rain and snow-melt engorged streams. These poles served us well in all conditions, especially while dealing with muddy trails and stream crossings. The cork grips were a nice feature during the cold wet days. When a very heavy load was applied to the poles they slipped a little, but this happened maybe 3-4 time in six long days of hiking. All-in-all, a good product that I would buy again. I'd give them a five, but I don't have a solid feel for the durability yet.
