Good quality trekking poles. They telescoping, easily adjustable with two metallic red snap locks. They look nice. It came with snow and sand accessories. Has a nice cork grip. You can connect them together with a plastic clip for storage (except for the snow/sands basket - you have to store it close to the poles lest you forget and misplace them). The only thing is the weight, it is not as light as carbon which can be advantageous on steeper mounting hikes.

I have been backpacking with friends for over 25 years now. About 15 years ago the first set of trekking poles showed up. And it wasn't long before everyone else had a set. I have not hiked with poles regularly. I occasionally would borrow a pair, but never felt the need to get a pair for myself. (I am the only of my set of hiking friends that has not had knee surgery.) My main complaint against getting poles was the weight and the size and the ability to get them small enough to store without a problem. These fold down quite small (about 24 inches) and will clip to one another with removable clips. They are also super light and strong. My only complaint, and it isn't a serious one, is that it would have been nice to get a camera attachment point to make this a monopod. But it is the only complaint I have and I could have gone with another one that had that option. But I didn't and I am happy with these.

Very nice long walking poles. They clip together for storage. My one concern is that I think while the cork handle will mold to your grip, I don't see the cork lasting well if exposed to much water or weather. But for now they are very comfortable to use while walking or hiking. Well made. They extend to a nice height, and collapse for easy storage

continued... This set comes with wide and narrow baskets for snow or general use and also comes with rubber tips if you’re using them in sensitive areas. This set doesn’t come with a carry bag but does come with two plastic clips you can use to keep the poles together during storage. Pro - sturdy construction - cork handles - lever locks - easy to read height markings - carbide steel tips Con - not enough strap padding for thumb - no carry bag - many cheaper poles on the market seem to have most of the features of these poles.

My left knee reminded on a recent hike with my family that it doesn’t like hiking down hill, and I took it easy but I still had a painful descent on the steep parts. I had been wanting to get a pair of trekking poles so got these to help with my knees. These poles are made from sturdy aluminum, with aluminum lever locks and easy to read height markings. The pair weighs about 1.2 pounds, collapses down to 25” long, and extents up to 53” with two extensions. There aren’t any instructions included, but youtube has many good tutorials for newbies. The markings on the tubes will tell you the height of the poles if you set both to the same number. For example, if you set both sections to 120 / 47 then total pole height will be 120cm or 47 inches. It’s nice way to quickly set them to the height you want. The lever locks were very loose when I first received the poles, but they are easy to adjust without tools by turning the burled nut on the back of the lever. Be sure to tighten them so they don't slip when you put your full weight on them. These poles don’t appear to have a left or right. The straps are the same and I find that the padding in the strap is too short and leaves part of my thumb rubbing up on the woven nylon strap. continued...

I've tried these out on several trails and different terrains and have been pleased with the build and performance of these trekking poles. They are sturdy, lightweight and well-built and I like the design and look of them. The grip on them is good and I find them comfortable to use. There is good height and wrist strap adjustment and they have little clips where you can snap them together for transport or storage. They did not come with instructions which is unfortunate for anyone who isn't familiar with use or adjustment of trekking poles but if that fits you just look up videos on how to adjust trekking poles for a proper fit.
