Good workout walking. Would buy again

I've purchased two sets for my wife and myself. Pros. These are quality poles. The clamps are easy to adjust. The poles slide smooth when changing length. They are nice and ridged, I'm 6'4" 250 Lbs and they hardly flex under pressure. They are super lightweight. The grips feel good and the straps are easy to adjust. The finish looks excellent. Cons. The included small rubber tips do not stay on the poles well. I bought the bags sold separately and the tips will fall off pulling them out of the bag. The fix is easy, throw the tops in the trash and buy some quality tips with deeper wells. I bought two different types of tips so far no issues, they allow the poles to set deeper and they are more snug to the poles. I honestly can not imagine anyone being disappointed with them.

Had only one hike w/ the poles, but they are nice looking, relatively easy to adjust, very comfortable to hold, and have a lower grip extension that saves you the time to adjust when you climb a moderate slope. The only problem I found is under high load you hear an annoying buzz every time the pole hits the ground. Not as strong as my other poles, but not something you'd expect in that price range.

Have been on a few hikes with these, including a run of 3 of the Adirondack 46 with Marcy (highest peak in NY), and love them! They're super lightweight, look fantastic, and hold up well. Broke a midsection, emailed regarding a replacement, and customer service has been a breeze to deal with. Can't recommend these enough!

I seldom use poles in pairs, but buy pairs to enable me to have different tips for different treks. These poles are extremely strong/durable, have nice ergonomic grips, and simply lets you feel the quality as soon as you hold one. Expensive, but highly recommended.

I love these walking poles...they are strong and sturdy, yet very lightweight. I was not able to use them when I first received them but have now and very satisfied with this purchase...the customer service is outstanding, also.

These poles are easily adjustable, stable and are sturdy. The only difficulty is that adjusting the clamp can be difficult.

We trail-tested the Mons Peak IX Tiger Paw Carbon Trekking Poles to see how they did on an autumn trail in Marshfield. Kept balance on a beam. Pole-vaulted over a stream. Kept a quick pace up and down the root-covered trails. Nice cork grip - very comfortable. Overall thumbs up! Check out our trail-test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnVtaSdcYyE

I just purchased these poles after trashing my REI carbon fiber poles this summer. The REI poles have been decent, but the foam grips have issues (the tops tear off or come apart) and the tips can't be replaced. These Mons Peak poles are maybe an ounce heavier total (1/2 oz per pole), but I can already tell they are sturdier. They also have great cork handles. Finally, you can purchase replacement tips from the company. All in all, a much better value for just a little more. Definitely 5 stars.

i bought these direct from the manufacturer. They are extremely well made and light. I have used a lot of poles and these are top notch. I like the thicker shaft (stiffness), the metal clamps, and the extended grip.

I love these poles! They are light and easy to handle. The grips are very comfortable, the shape of the tops is good for "palming" the pole, and the grip extends downward, so you can choke up on the uphill pole when sidehilling. The lever-lock system is my favorite method for adjusting pole length. It's easy to use and holds securely. These poles are worth the money. Not only that, but customer service from Mons Peak IX is excellent.

I got the poles on July 6th Since the purchase have done Pyramid Peak and four pass lop in Aspen CO. During 4 pass loop (25 miles 12000 vertical feet)the tip feel as the terrain can be rough. I called the manufacturer and had a chance to speak with the owner. He was very helpful and is mailing a replacement part under warranty. i highly recommend the carbon poles

The Tiger Paw Carbon trekking poles have been with me on every hike of 2019, on and off trail, and will continue to join me from here on out. Light weight, comfortable grip, super sturdy design and durable construction are just a few of the reasons I will be sticking with these poles. Add in the amazing customer service I have received from Mons Peak IX and you have an all around winner in my opinion. Best do-it-all trekking poles on the market!
