Cork trekking poles

Nicely manufactured Easy, comfortable grip Strong yet light weight

Solid and reliable

Excellent trekking poles. Sturdy and durable. This is my second pair.

IT JUST WORKS

These poles are the bomb. They are super light, and they do exactly what they are made for, every time 🔥

Cork poles

Very sturdy. Only two minor changes I would like are the cork handles to be a little bigger diameter and the left and right stencil to be easier to see.

I used these poles on my AT NOBO thru hike 2023 and they lasted the entire 2198.4 miles. I only replaced the tips once and the poles never broke despite several falls resulting in bent poles. No problem tho, I bent them back into shape, finished the hike, and summitted Kahtadin. I've retired my poles to the mantle and broke out my second pair. These are super great poles, very durable, very reliable. I'll def buy more. PS I also used these poles on the approx 200 miles of shake down hikes before the AT:)

Solid Poles

So stoked on my new trekking poles! I had used a friend's pair for a multi-day hike through Mantario and they were so good, I had to get some for myself.

great sturdy trekking poles

using these trekking poles during a recent night training exercise, these trekking poles worked great. walking up and down mountain terrain with a 40lb pack at night on very unstable ground the poles kept me balance throughout exercise.

Poles

I love my new cork poles. The last pair I had lasted me hiking the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail. The quality is top notch and I am about to hike the Te Araroa in New Zealand. I know these will save me from busting my butt like they have so many times in the past. The company has excellent service and I will continue to be a customer for years to come.

Like the way they are

Like the way they are adjustable, sturdy and light weight

very sturdy adjustable trekking poles

I have used Black Diamond trekking poles for many years. My previous poles were the kind that break down into three sections and are not adjustable. I thought that I would try something different with the new poles that I bought. I found these poles to be very sturdy aluminum and easy to adjust. My previous fixed poles were 130 cm but were sometimes too long for me on certain terrain. The Trail Cork poles give me the option of adjusting down in length to make hiking on variable terrain steadier. The cork grips are comfortable. The flip locks make for a slip proof hold once the poles are adjusted to the proper length. I definitely can recommend Black Diamond trekking poles which have saved me a number of times from tipping over and for sure keep my knees in good shape.
