Black Short 100-120 cm

I finally had an opportunity to try these trekking poles out. They were very sturdy. I was using them on a very rocky trail and they were stable when I used them up and downhill. Sometimes I have a hard time climbing down the rocks on the trail and these provided stability as I stepped down. They were also a lifesaver as we were heading back up the trail and provided so much support as my legs were tiring out.They were a little tricky at first to figure out how to straighten out but once you get the hang of it it's no problem. I wanted poles that were lightweight and folded to a short height so they fit comfortably in my backpack. These fit both of those requirements for me. They weren't heavy in my pack or in my hand on our 8 mile hike. They come in carrying pouches which helped protect the inside of my bag from any dirt or dust. They also have wide range of height adjustment so my boyfriend and I who are a foot apart in heigh can both use them. Adjustable wrist straps as well.Overall I am very happy with this purchase, great poles that came at a reasonable price. Now to conquer Half Dome with them!

Very nice poles! I was surprised that they are as nice as they are for the excellent price. I like them better than my previous telescoping poles, as they are much more compact to carry and you can easily set and re-set the length you desire for your current terrain and use.The poles are very easy and quick to deploy, however pushing the button in to retract them again is not quite as easy, especially if your hands are a bit cold. The rest of the retraction process is super easy. And, once folded up, they come with a nice velcro cord strip that keeps them tight and tidy.I really like that the poles come in two separate storage bags, as you may want to carry only one pole on some outings, not two and the bags give you the option to have your pole in a bag on the inside or outside of your pack, which keeps things more organized and neat.I put the various pole tips (very nice tips that came with the poles) in a separate mesh bag (sort of see-through) that I attached directly to the two-bag system because I could see that pulling out the poles could inadvertently pull out a tip at the same time and you may not notice, especially if it fell down into snow. Therefore, having the tips in a separate small bag made a lot of sense to me. It would also enable me to take quick inventory of my tips to make sure everything was in place when changing them out. I have worked on search and rescue for 19 years now, and over the years, I have become very aware of how to manage and put systems in place so gear is not ever lost. I want to spend my time and dollars upgrading gear, not replacing it.I cannot attest to how rugged these tips are as I have not yet put them through the test of time and use, however they feel quite substantial and durable, not soft or easily dented.The grips are very comfortable and the wrist straps are easily adjusted. I like the material the wrist straps a made from as well. I have not taken these poles through the heat of summer yet, so I cannot speak to the grip in hot weather, but they are super comfortable in winter, as the material does not get super cold and has just the right degree of soft to prevent fatigue and firmness to give stability of use.I guess the only thing about these poles is the branding. They have not one, but two logos on the poles. I would prefer less labeling and more solid blue color, which would make the poles more pleasing to the eye. While aesthetics are not important to the function, as an artist, I guess I cannot help myself.

These poles break down into 3 sections, so they get small enough to fit in my running vest. I put them in the large pocket in the back. I use them for long trail runs.For the price, these are a total win. Sturdy, fit in my running pack. Con: they do slip sometimes, so I've had to adjust the tightness on the go a couple of times. Pro: no slips during my longest run with them (4+ hours). Con: they're not super fast to put together or collapse, so I don't like switching using vs. not using them and storing them in my pack. Just keep them out and run with them my side. Pro: they're pretty light for being so inexpensive, a little less than a pound.Definitely recommend if you're curious to try trekking poles for trail running - they're great for the price.If I keep doing ultras I'll probably want to purchase an expensive pair for the conveniences of smaller size, easier expansion and collapsing, hip or vest carriers... but I'm so pumped to have completed my first ultra with this cheap solution. I carried them in my vest for the first half of the race, and used them for the second half.

I tell everyone I know about these hiking poles. I hiked for 4 weeks in Slovenia with them,- across tons of high alpine terrain and sketchy skree and they saved my life more than once. Super durable, super easy to operate, and cute too! The wrist loops and handles are so comfy, and have grip even when drenched in sweat and/or rain. They don’t rust, dry quick, and fold up smaller than almost anything else on the market. The ONE thing to keep note of (which is true with all hiking poles) is that the attachable feet need to be screwed on tight or they can come off. I learned that lesson after gently popping them on. Make sure it’s tight. I took these to summits, down rocky river beds, across rivers where rocks were covered in moss..they kept me steady the whole time. And they are super lightweight,- I carried them for 7 weeks of travel. Buy these !! I am a fan girl of whoever invented this brand. Excellent poles, excellent product. Look no further & get these !!!

Great product, just as good as the professional sticks. We used these toclimb mt fuji’s summit and they held up like a boss. 10/10. also my bf is 6’6 and they were perfect for him maxed out and i was comfortable with them at mid height being 5’4.

Lightweight. Easy to fold, compact. Nice individual carrying pouches. A lot of well-designed features these are extremely convenient, multiple sizes, adjustable - frankly not sure why one would pay double or triple just get these in my humble opinion.
