I bought these to replace a pair that I bought in a charity shop. They were fine, but had a twist-lock that (i) wasn't very secure and (ii) was sometimes the devil's own job to release.There are lightweight and have a very positive lock. The lock is also very easy to release. That means they're either (i) locked solid and therefore safe to put your full weight on if needs be or (ii) unlocked for folding.They are very quick and easy to both deploy and fold down. In use, they feel very comfortable and certainly do make walking a bit easier and quicker.The conventional wisdom is that you can use Nordic walking poles for trekking, but not trekking poles for Nordic walking. These are trekking poles.I have no idea what the difference between the two walking styles is and (being indifferent to organised walking groups) have no interest in finding out. (I'm a grumpy old bugger and don't want to be bored to death by retired primary headteachers or social workers.)But what I can say, is that these are an excellent walking aid when travelling the footpaths and hilly areas of Britain.There are four points to bear in mind:1 - when off-road, remove the rubber tip and use the metal end for much better grip.2 - take very great care to make sure that the stick is well behind your foot or you'll almost certainly trip yourself up.3 - watch a few YouTube instructional videos and learn how to use the poles properly and safely. It will take you a few hours to become fully used to them.4 - and this is VERY important ... grip the poles as advised. If you do it right, you can use your hands to arrest a fall in safety; do it wrong and you can guarantee a dislocated or broken thumb if you fall.A word of warning about which length you buy: take the recommended measurements seriously. I'm a tad shorter than recommended for the longer ones, but I bought them anyway. Don't make the same mistake! These are just about comfortable for me on their very shortest length. If you are less than 5' 6", get the shorter ones.

Love these! Super easy to use and dependable. I took them right on an 11 day trek through the Alps and they were awesome. The only thing is that the wrist strap constantly loosens so you have to jam it up or tie it off a few times a day.

I’m really impressed by these cheap poles. I usually use expensive Leki poles, but wanted something small enough to go inside my rucksack if I’m scrambling or rock climbing.I didn’t want to buy lighter, but much more expensive, carbon fibre poles, as I didn’t feel I’d use them often enough. (I mainly planned to use my robust aluminium Leki poles still.)Putting these together, I was immediately impressed by how well-made they are. They actually feel slightly lighter than my Leki’s, but pack down to a much shorter length, so they will easily fit inside my rucksack.I’m 5’3”, and have preferred to use trekking poles set at a single length for 30 years now (regardless of whether I’m going up or downhill). The shortest setting on these (buying the shorter length option) feels very slightly longer than I’d usually set my Leki’s, but they will be far better than not being able to take poles with me.The handles feel comfortable, and I like that they came with a wide variety of pole end options, Velcro to keep the folded poles together, and a handy storage bag to carry them in. It is easy to snap the pole sections together, and the resulting poles are stable and sturdy.

I bought these poles to help me on a 100k hike. I’ve never used poles before so unable to compare against other models/types. I was impressed by their lightweight foldable design, this meant I was able to store and carry them easily in my backpack when not needed. The durability seems good and look like they could go for another 100k or more. Overall I am happy with my purchase

I bought these at the last minute, having decided I would need some Walking Poles for a trip to Madeira. These were the best option that offered next day delivery, so it wasn't much of a choice!I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality, strength and ease of assembly. They offered great stability throughout my week long hike over variable terrain, with ascents and descents of 1000m+. I also managed to turn my ankle during the last day of the hike, while mainly descending on rocky and very slippery ground - these poles supported my body weight (75kg) well and felt very secure. I'm not sure I'd have managed without them!The only minus I could think of is that they are slightly fiddly to put the sections together, until you get the hang of it. A very minor gripe though - these poles are absolutely worth the money and now a valued part of my hiking kit!
