Love this hiking pole Jul 15, 2010 The price was fairly low compared to others. I have used it on a couple of decent hikes and love it. The cork handle is cool. The colors are nice. The tungsten bit digs into the ground well. Seems like it will last a long time as long as I use it for my short hikes.

Great Value! Jan 23, 2010 I bought one of these before a trip to Kauai last month and it helped so much that I wished I had bought two so my wife could have one... so I just ordered a second one for our next hiking adventure!
Seems pretty sturdy overall.. held up my weight without any problem on some pretty rough hiking along the Kalalau trail in Kauai. We'll see in the long run, but no complaints so far.
Great value Oct 06, 2009 Found this to be exactly as advertised.Sturdy,handy and secure purchase top and bottom as used.I use it to negotiate river beds while fishing and rough Pacific Northwest terrain.I weigh about 250 and it holds up fine.For the price I doubt one could do better.Was delivered before ETA.A comfort on the trail,quickly became a trusted friend.

Inferior Product (at least mine was!) Aug 22, 2009 The price was certainly right for these poles but within an hour of starting to hike with them, the plastic retaining pin that holds the straps in place fell out on each pole Now if you're going to use this to walk to the local park, that might not be a problem but I was hiking Mt. Washington and relying on these poles to get me up and down, so the inferior construction actually put my health at risk. I was able to construct an improvised repair by using some wood pieces and threading them carefully through the holes for the retaining pin.
One of the poles also bent when it was temporarily caught in some rocks. That was perhaps more understandable. And the two poles did survive heavy use up and down the mountain. Still if you were going to rely on these and found that you dropped it or could not use the strap to help hold the pole on any kind of climb up or down, you'd be in trouble.
Should not be sold in this condition.
sturdy and easy to use Aug 10, 2009 Very helpful pole to support weight on up climb and to maintain balance on steep and rocky descent. Excellent performance. Worked great as a single hiking pole. Buying another for those very challenging climbs.
