Pair 2 65-135 cm Trekking Alpenstock Anti-shock Sticks

Held up to strenuous use without failing.

I just returned from a hiking trip to Everest Base Camp. For 9 days and 40 miles of hiking (mostly uphill), I relied heavily on these to get me up and down the mountains. When going uphill, I’d place a substantial amount of weight on them to help me and my arthritic knees get to where we were going. When going downhill, I relied on these to keep me from slipping or to help me catch my balance when a rock would shift.

Never once did a joint slip on these poles. I’d collapse them when I entered a town or crossed a bridge and extend them when hitting the trail. Occasionally, I’d turn the friction screw then snap the lever down and as mentioned, never had a single issue with slippage.

Also would like to mention that several times, I lost my footing at the same time the pole would slide in between some rocks. I wasn’t able to put enough torque on the pole to keep myself upright and the poles were able to handle the tension without snapping.

I’m very happy with the performance and price of these trekking poles. The only thing I wish the manufacturer would expand upon is the use of the attachments. Having never used poles before, I didn’t use the smaller discs that came with the set. Had I done so, I probably wouldn’t have sunk them into so many small holes and crevices. I more detailed use guide would have been very helpful. Otherwise, no complaints at all.

Ready for hiking

These sticks are really sturdy and lightweight. However tips on the bottom comes off constantly.other than that, my overall experience is 5 stars.
