TrailBuddy Walking Poles - Pack of 2 Lightweight, Adjustable Trekking Poles for Hiking, Camping & Backpacking - Walking Sticks w/Cork Grip and Padded Strap

I previously used my poles for dog walking over unstable ground and when walking for longer periods. I got a second set at the beginning of the year after a knee injury, where I needed to use a single pole for support on a daily basis. I found and still find them so much easier to use than traditional walking sticks. I do know that if I were doing Nordic walking or I was hiking for long distances, I would choose differently, but these are pretty unbeatable when it comes to the price, ease of use, and overall toughness. I can say with total confidence that these are a great first pair of poles and are ideal for general use.

These trail buddy walking poles are excellent, the photo's don't do these poles justice as they truly look and feel high quality.They are very simple to customize to your own walking posture or you can set them to the length via the sizing chart which is enclosed.You receive all the accessories you need with these sticks for any walk you have planned.These poles are light weight and easily collapsible (shorten) to put in your back back until they are needed. The price of these were perfect with a high price feel and quality finish to them.I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend this product and seller.

I am recovering from a spinal injury and a doctor suggested getting walking poles to aid my recovery. I didn't want to buy really expensive ones, in case I didn't get on with them, and I'm hoping not to use them for too long anyway. The poles are nice and sturdy, very easy to adjust and fold down, and come with a very handy carry bag, so if you aren't using them e.g. while sitting on a train, they don't take up too much room.The only downside I have found is that, when walking on pavements (which I do mostly) they are very noisy... tap tap tap tap tap tap. I feel like people can hear me coming from miles around. There are rubber tips on the end of the poles but they don't seem to make much difference.That said, they have helped me a lot with my walking, taking some of the weight off my back and helping me get moving.

These amazing poles ensured Mum's retained her independence. Mum was using a walking stick which was causing pain on her one side her specialist recommended walking poles. I check these were the right ones & ordered while in the office they arrived the next day & are perfect. Easy to set up arrived with spares strong & perfect to ensure balance & mobility. Highly recommended to anyone & a great upgrade to a walking stick ensuring stability.

Having, at date, walked over 300 miles with the TrailBuddy poles, in all sort of terrain and conditions; I can state that they are the best poles I ever had, while having used poles for more than 25 years.Excellent design, totally covering all the trekking needs,Very good quality of construction.What I like particularly:> fairly flushed surface of the fliplocks that is no catch of vegetation when off trail and so avoiding unexpected unlocking….> screws made of alloyed metal, resistant to oxidation and sunlight (UV) to ensure a long life of use ( have had previously carbon poles fitted with plastic screws that split after exposure to UV and with metal bolts corroding…)> comfortable and practical cork handles, even when wet from rain or perspiration,> very easy height adjustments,> fine, clear and useful instructions,> also, less important, albeit still good to know: fine quality of the coating / lacquer, only a few scratches after all the use off the beaten track, while coating of previous poles more or less disappeared soon after some extensive use.Only perhaps slightly negative point in comparison to carbon poles is the weight, but the difference is negligible, one get use to it quickly, and when walking for exercise adding a very small amount of weight is not relevant.What’s more, these aluminium poles are much more resistant that the carbon ones to reasonableflexion, when trapped in an obstacle in the ground, carbon poles just snap.Overall, 100% satisfied, TrailBuddy poles highly recommended

The poles are good quality feel robust. I think they will last a long time. I use these rather than a walking stick. They allow me to stand up straight and not lean over as in using stick. So keep my back straighter. I can also walk faster which helps with my overall fitness. As an older user, I would say give them a try. They are fully adjustable and the hand straps make them very secure. I don't feel as if I would trip up or fall. Safety in walking with these is good. I saw my orthopaedic consultant and mentioned that I was using the poles to help with my spine and knee problems, he said that they we a really good idea and a number of his patients had benefitted from the use of poles. (No particular make of course) From my perspective I can walk further and faster and breath easier, which surely must be of health benefit. I am no expert! I would say to anyone with similar health issues to give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed.

I am 6' 3" and 110kg/240lbs and have used my trekking poles quite a bit over the last 2 years over some wet and rugged terrain. These poles are great quality and robust. Besides not being heavy, they "telescope" in and out and so I can store them in the car etc when not using them.I bought these in 2023, but never got round to writing a review. I have done it now so that Boomer would get his treats as promised in the brochure.
