 Worked great until it broke Feb 07, 2007
By M. Ferretti
This pole was great for the 2 days that it worked. The compass in the handle is cool (but sometimes requires shaking) and the overall design is comfortable. The removable head was helpful when hiking through ice and the stabilizer worked well in mud.
I was loving every minute I had this thing until the metal gizmo that allows it to extend snapped inside. I would be willing to forgive this product, but once it fell apart and I looked inside, the design just looked flimsy. While this may have been a biased opinion (since I made it while trying to bushwhack up a mountain with a broken pole), it was certainly justified at the time.
My advice: Shell out the bucks for a better one.

 Inexpensive, and useful Aug 12, 2005
By Benjamin Lim

For those people that requires just a low end trekking pole, that does the job of stablising and support.
Its dimensions are 25.5" when collasped and 52.5" when fully extended.
Its grip is made of rubber, and has this tiny compass embedded within (would require some patience in getting the correct direction, as it might get stuck when you make a sudden turn...), works well for a general sense of direction while trekking.
There's shock absorption built in.
Overall, a good deal for those that wants to 'try out' trekking poles before upgrading (if ever) to the better ones.

 very stable... Aug 07, 2005

...kept me from falling a few times....very light weight and sturdy. The compass embedded in the handle is too small....if you need reading glasses like me.

 Glue the tips!! Nov 18, 2007
By Joshua P. Wiederhold
I recently hiked rim to rim to rim in the Grand Canyon using these poles and I must say I will never hike without trekking poles again. While these were a great "intro" pair of poles, they seemed sturdy and provided plenty of support, after the first day I lost a tip on one and the other within a few days. After the tips fell out the pole itself disintegrated very quickly. I would recommend removing the tips after purchase and gluing with epoxy or JB weld. I will be returning poles for a refund due to defectiveness and probably getting a nicer pair of poles from another manufacturer. I wouldn't recommend these to anyone unless you only want to use them once.

Good cheap pole Feb 07, 2007
By Frank Yee
This is a good pole for the price. One problem with the pole is that it is difficult to extend because the tubes are tight. It is easy to pull it apart because there is not detent or stop and a pain to reassemble.
