  • Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

These hiking poles are perfect for the price. You aren't spending $100 on poles so don't expect $100 quality. I've used these for glacial river crossings and steep scree ascents and descents. Only thing they failed me on was tundra-- no hiking poles are a match for the tundra!

Great for beginner users

    This was my first set of hiking poles, so I decided to go with a cheaper option and bypass the carbon option. This set is perfect for beginners. For what few hikes I've used them for, I've put them to the test each time. They're strong and my knees are thankful. I don't see any need to upgrade anytime soon, as I am happy with these and will continually use them this winter.
