Trekking Poles Aviation Grade Aluminum Alloy-Strong Lightweight Collapsible Walking Sticks for Hiking Poles for Women, Men,Seniors in the 4 Season,All-Terrain,2pc Per Set

These walking sticks are fabulous! Pack easily into suitcase. Very easy to put together. The cord running inside the joined pieces keep them from getting separated and potentially lost. The metal is surprisingly strong and still very lightweight. I used them in gravely lake bottom, snow on Athabasca Glacier, muddy rocky hiking paths, pavement, and indoors in recent 10 day trip. They made walking so much more comfortable for my back and helped me walk longer distances. I could not have made it through the 10 busy days without them.

These poles were exactly what I was expecting. They stowed nicely in my day pack, were easy to use once I got the hang of it. They were sturdy and felt substantial without being too heavy. The rubber tip is a bit slippery on smooth surfaces like tile. Good value. These will be with me on my future trips.

I purchased two sets as a Colorado house warming and thought I’d keep one for myself. Easy to set up & break down, good quality, but little heavier than what I have now nor wanted for my pack back so I left her both. I also wanted set that fit better in my carry on, these only did if set diagonally.

I am 100kg weight and these sticks worked well for all my technical hikes in last one week.

Took the pair out for a long snow hike...easy to expand and then collspse to store. Great options for various sport tips. Am 5'2" and able to adjust easily to my height. Carrying case bonus. Not willing to risk losing then @ TSA checkpoint but they'd fit neatly in my carry on luggage.

I recently purchased these trekking poles from Thristride, and overall, I’m very happy with them. They’ve been incredibly helpful for maintaining balance and giving that extra push on uneven terrain. Lightweight yet sturdy, they’ve made my hikes much more comfortable and secure. One note for future buyers: it’s important to follow the setup instructions carefully—especially the part about extending the last section of the pole. You need to pull it until the "stop" mark is visible and it clicks into place. If you don’t do this step correctly, the pole won’t lock and will feel unstable. Once I figured that out, everything worked perfectly. Big thanks to Victor and the Thristride team for their thoughtful follow-up and excellent customer service. It’s always nice to support a company that stands behind its product. Highly recommend these poles, especially if you're looking for a reliable and affordable option for hiking!

The first time I tried to use this the poles I was overseas. The cable came off both poles; there was no way to reattached the cable and they were useless. I had purchased months ago, so I was not able to return this defective product. Look for something better, and don't purchase months in advance of actual usage.

These are good-quality trekking poles. They are not difficult to put together. I am 5'5" tall and had to put them on the shortest height for me to walk comfortably. They take a bit of getting used to, so I watched multiple YouTube videos to see how to do it right. My balance is bad, but with the trekking poles I am not constantly reaching for my husband, I can maneuver on my own. I thought they were an excellent value for the money.
