TREKOLOGY Trek-Z Cork Grip Trekking Poles – Lightweight Folding Hiking Poles, Adjustable Height, Compact Travel Design, Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Walking Sticks for Men & Women

These are very sturdy and comfortable and weight is not an issue. Well made and very easy to initially set up, good directions. Foldable and small carry not a strong consideration for a couple 80 yr. olds for neighborhood and woodland walks. We'll leave them set up and ready to go.What we appreciate the most is an improvement in walking speed, improved physical posture, stability and the willingness to get out and about quite often. Arthritis and joint replacement has taken it's toll over the yearsYes we highly recommend these and they won't break the bank. Reclaiming our life again.

Love them. I can walk much easier with these. I can walk for exercise where without them I couldn’t. Even my family noticed the difference

These poles are a nice rugged design, and collapse to 15 inches, which was important for travel. UNFORTUNATELY, one of the cables which hold the poles together, was entirely detached from the handle and not fixable by the end user. FORTUNATELY, I sent it back with Amazon's guarantee, and received replacement poles TWO DAYS later, and these are perfect.

I didn't see the instructions in the bag so I had to get the poles together on my own without ruining them. When I found the instructions, I was able to set the poles up to a height that worked very well for me. The assembly was easy once I had the instructions.

After back surgery my surgeon told me not to use a cane because it causes you to bend as you walk versus walking poles force you to walk upright. I really like the grips on these poles.

I've had these poles for about a year and I have to say that it's probably one of the best gear investments I've made. I decided to upgrade to an ultralight trekking pole tent and obviously needed poles, so I ordered these. They definitely function for that purpose but I had no idea what I was missing before I ordered them. I used to think trekking poles were kind of silly, but then I injured my knee pretty badly on a overnight trip up a mesa. I had to descend around 1000 feet over about a mile first thing in the morning before hiking another five miles over rough terrain to the car, all on an injured knee with a loaded pack. The only reason I made it back to the car unassisted was because of these poles. They're super sturdy, very packable, and overall a great value. I have yet to have any trouble with them, but for the price, I'd gladly replace them if I did. There are definitely lighter poles out there, but since I use mine for hiking pretty continuously, weight is less of an issue. No regrets on this purchase.

I use a staff when I fly fish because I am old and fat. I had one for several years made by Fishpond and it broke. This staff is engineered exactly like the Fishpond unit. It collapses to exactly the same dimensions and fits perfectly in the old Fishpond sheath, which is very convenient. Simms and Orvis sell their "Pro" wading staffs for over $200. I'd put this staff up against those units any day. This is my best Amazon purchase of 2025!

I would give these five stars if the handle was a little beefier so that it fit my hand better. Otherwise, this is a very well designed pole and I love how easy it is to adjust the height and that it doesn't have the three "knobs" sticking out as most others do. I am a six foot male, average build, for reference. My wife has the Cascade(?) poles from Costco, and although the handles look about the same when you hold them side by side, the Cascade poles have a slightly thicker and grippier feel to them. So, we switched poles for now. These poles are "daintier" (not in a quality sense, but more in an aesthetic sense - sleeker, in a good way), so it will be a good trade, I think.
