Cascade Mountain Tech Trekking Poles - Carbon Fiber Walking or Hiking Sticks with Quick Adjustable Locks

Really solid carbon hiking poles at ~half the cost of comparable. I took these on 120 miles of the Haute Route in Switzerland and they held up great. The carbide tips gripped the granite perfectly, were very light and easy to collapse and pack away. Highly recommend!

First, I am not a hiker (by any stretch of the imagination). I have spinal issues and have difficulty walking any distance. I am that woman who grabs a cart in the parking lot at the store to help me get around. I LOVE these poles!! They are very easy to use once you get the hang of them. They are easy to adjust consistently with the markings printed on the poles, and the thumb latches can be tightened or loosened to facilitate that. When you get them it is important to take the time to figure out the proper height, adjust the hand straps (the hardest part for me), and technique for using them. I found a number of videos on YouTube which helped (and were better than the manufacturer's tutorials). The different feet are easy to switch out and you really do want to use them - they definitely help! I find them particularly good when walking on an uneven surface. I think it's probably the position my back is in (slightly tilted forward) that reduces the pain I experience when walking. They are lightweight but sturdy and easily slide in and out of the well constructed carrying bag. I keep them in my car because they come in useful when going to an outdoor concert on the lawn, if all the handicapped parking spaces are taken, etc. An additional plus is that I was able to use my medical coverage's wellness reimbursement benefit to pay for them (which I'm generally unable to use). I have no idea how these would work for serious hiking but they are helping this 64 yo woman continue to lead an enjoyable independent life. I am SO glad I purchased them!!

These came easy to adjust, are extremely light weight and fun to go walking and hiking with. The handles are very comfortable too. .

Purchased as an alternative for more expensive trekking poles. There are plenty of mixed reviews out there, and that made me worried. That being said- I was very satisfied with the product that I received. Light weight, reasonably sturdy, and little fuss with making sure they worked well. Pros: Price, weight, materials used, and (so far) durability Cons: Fear of failure, adjusting retention locks on poles....and did I mention fear of failure. In the Sangre De Cristo range for four days. Leaf litter forest floor for a cumulative day and there rest is above tree line and rocky, at best. They held up well with no apparent damage due to normal use. No breakage or malfunction. I was cautious of the tension, because it is user changeable, on the retention locks on the sticks. I didn't want to over-torque them causing some sort of damage to carbon fiber or structure of the pole. They ARE cheaper and they can only be made cheaper through a few ways; I didn't want to test out the limits of the particular type of carbon that was used in their manufacturing. Hope that your pair treat you as well as mine have.

I took these on a long hiking trip and very much appreciated the additional power from using my arms and felt more confident negotiating streams and tight trails with them. The handles are reasonably comfortable, the cork feels good, but the straps do come loose and require tightening now and then. I have only used the smaller baskets. They are easily adjusted and feel secure. They are light and much lower costs than what I saw in recreational stores.

These poles are exactly as described and functional. It comes with a carrying case and multiple tips for various hiking and walking terrain. It is durable and holds its position well once set. Additionally, it is easy to adjust and shorten for putting in its’ case and in suitcases for traveling. Be aware that most airlines do NOT allow trekking poles to be brought on board. These poles seemed expensive while I considered what to purchase, but they have easily been worth the price.

These hiking poles are awesome for hiking and backpacking. They are extremely lightweight and very durable. They do not condense down as much as some other poles because they have only two sections, but that was not a deal breaker for me.

I chose these for my wife because they were the lightest ones I found. In short, she LOVES them! They are strong and super easy to expand when using and collapse when storing. I haven't used them myself, but I like that they easily adjust to a different height so I don't have to buy my own pair if I want to use them. They have several optional tips that you can switch out depending on the weather conditions, the surface conditions of your trail, and even have a protective cap to cover the bare spike so that it doesn't poke a hole in the bag. Speaking of the bag, THANK YOU for providing a bag with enough space to easily and quickly throw all pieces in without having to make it fit in one specific way. The wrist straps are comfortable and large enough to work with a wide variety of hand and wrist sizes. Overall, I'm exceptionally pleased with this product and very happy I chose these particular poles for her. I may just need to order a pair for myself... or take her black ones and get her a different color of her choosing :-)
