TrailBuddy Trekking Poles - Lightweight, Collapsible Hiking Poles for Backpacking Gear - Pair of 2 Walking Sticks for Hiking, 7075 Aluminum with Cork Grip

Context being that I am brand-new to Nordic walking, I am very happy with these walking poles. I did not want to spend a lot of money on a piece of fitness equipment that may not work out for me and these were a very good price for something that offers pretty much all the same qualities as the (much) higher priced popular brands i.e. 7 series aluminum construction, cork hand grips, padded straps, flip lock mechanism, adjustable w/ recommended pole markings and tungsten-carbide tips w/ additional screw-on baskets/rubber tips . Please note though, they do not come with the type of "fitness tip" you often see with the Nordic poles - I knew that when I ordered. They are very light at .27 Kg/9.52 oz. and lock firmly into place. I had the rubber tips on for walking on gravel/asphalt and they seldom slipped (I think when they did it was the user lol). I believe though, it is important to read the included, very clear directions a few times to really manage the flip-locks properly - once you do it a couple of times, it is really easy to get a solid lock. The locks are a tad bulky (more than, say, Black Diamond) so I have them aligned such that the protruding bits face away from my legs. The wrist straps adjust easily (again, read the directions) but, as a new user, I find straps a bit awkward. I think they are important for stability however so it just may be getting used to them. I like that the various tips that came with the poles screw into place. They recommend you check them before each use but I expect they would not come off very easily - the rubber tips on mine did not loosen at all after a 3K walk. My only suggestion to the company would be to make the carry bag a bit less flimsy and a bit more generously sized. They recommend you store the poles with the flip-locks open but the bag is fairly narrow and it's difficult to insert the poles with the locks in the open position (not to mention trying to stuff the straps in as well). Overall, I think these are a very good value. While they may not be as sleek and sexy as some higher-end brands, you get everything you need to get started and pretty much the same quality build for one-quarter to one-third of the price; I expect to enjoy using them for quite a while.

Ésta marca decidí comprarla para regalo, ya que yo cuento ya con unos y me han salido muy buenos. He subido con ellos la montaña Baldy en Los Ángeles CA y Mt Whitney, la más alta de los 48 Estados Unidos contiguos y no me fallaron! Por eso decidí regalar ésa marca a mi esposo quien se iniciará en senderismo. Saludos!

Für ein Urlaub in die Bastei genau richtig.Stabil,optisch sehr ansprechend und längenverstellbar und ein sehr Fairer Preis

Articolo valido, peccato per le istruzioni mai una parola in italiano. Noi italiani non siamo proprio considerati. È vero che uno ci arriva per intuito però.....

Açma kapama aparatları dikkatsiz kullanırsanız kırılgan şeyler ama yanınızda pense ile kullanırsanız çok daha kolay oluyor. Genel olarak harika bir ürün.
