Trekking Poles - Purple

I am disabled and have replaced my cane with this product. Arthritis in my hands and spine had begun to make it difficult for me to hold my cane and move about as much as I wanted. With this walking stick, I am able to stand upright relieving the stress on my spine and holding the stick relives the weight stress on my hands. I gave my little Momma the other one and she uses it. We could not get her to use a cane and she had many falls. Now we are much more relaxed with her getting out and about when she uses this product. Thank you.

Bought these ahead of a week long trip to Zion and Bryce Canyon NPs. The poles traveled well in my luggage on the flight out and performed even better than expected. I was particularly happy with their performance on our hike of The Narrows trail up the Virgin River gorge. Putting on the mud guards on the end of the poles turned out to be super useful addition while trekking through the mud and sand in the river. They held up under some serious pressure as balance was lost many times over the course of the 4 miles up the canyon. They stood up to the hike without bending or breaking. The locking mechanism worked fine,with no slipping. All in all, I would recommend the poles to anyone, and would buy again.

No idea why box stores sell an identical product for $150 when these things really do perform just as well for a fraction of the price. I just finished a deep snow, Colorado 14k mountain with these, while leaning on them all the way down, and they performed wonderfully!

These poles have me back out walking again. I was having trouble with my knee swelling up after my morning walks. A friend recommended I try Nordic Walking. I purchased a more expensive set first, but they turned out to be defective. One pole kept collapsing, so I returned them and ordered these. I love them.I find that I'm walking faster, farther, and without pain. The swelling has gone down, and my knee feels fantastic. Not only are they great for your joints, but you get a fantastic work out as well.

I liked the quality and the price. I purchased them for my friend that walks around my park, I work in San Ramon. He is a 90 year old man that walks with walking poles already but they are in poor shape. He reminds me a lot of my dad who is 93 an as of last year, unable to go for his walks
