Tip Options for Many Conditions

Our poles come with different tip options for different hiking conditions, traverse the paths less traveled!

Rubber tips - For walking paved paths, sidewalks, or large smooth rocks

Carbide tips - For digging into gravel trails, hard packed paths, or ice

Mud baskets - To help prevent your poles from sinking into mud or sand when hiking tougher conditions

Please note, that if using your hiking poles with the rubber tip, they will wear out with time and need to be replaced eventually. Depending on the hiking conditions they may last anywhere from 5-25+ miles.

Anti-Shock Feature For More Comfort

The BAFX Products hiking poles incorporate an anti shock feature located inside of each pole on the top of the middle section. This anti shock feature is an internal spring which helps to reduce the sharp jolt that travels through the pole each time the pole hits the ground.

If you don't like the anti shock feature no problem! It can be easily activated or deactivated on each pole!

Why do I need this? Simple, less stress on your hands and joints during long hikes or walks! If your hiking / walking over long distances this repetitive jolt to your arm joints and hands can wear you down and cause pain, the anti shock feature will help to reduce the jolt resulting in longer, more enjoyable hiking!

Great For All Heights Of People

Not sure what size pole is right for you? Generally speaking, you want your poles to be set at a height where when holding the pole straight up and down, your arm will form a 90° angle. Using this rule of thumb our trekking poles will work great for people of any heights from 3'6" to 6'4". In the listing photos at the top of the page you will find a sizing chart to show you approximately how far to extend your hiking poles! What matters most though is your comfort while out hiking the great outdoors! Try this rule of thumb and see how it works, then adjust as needed to reach your comfort level!

Once you determine your preferred height, there are convenient height markings on our walking poles to help you get the sticks set to the right length quickly and easily!

Why use hiking poles?

There are so many uses for hiking poles (walking sticks / trekking poles whatever you would like to call them) that we can't get into them all here though, some of the most common benefits include:

  • Stability - With heavy backpacks! Added backpack weight will take you off balance, walking poles help re-balance you.
  • Balance - Crossing those beautiful streams can be tricky with slippery rocks and hiking poles can keep you upright.
  • Assistance climbing - Steep hill? Going up or down is no problem with trekking poles. When going up, use them to help pull yourself up. When going down, use the poles to brace yourself and ease into the descent.
  • Reduce strain - Studies show hiking poles may reduce knee strain by up to 25%!
  • Exercise - Using hiking poles can help burn more calories with the added upper body movement yet you will experience less exertion.

Not to mention the other endless possibilities including helping to prop up and emergency shelter!

5.0 out of 5 stars The help I needed
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024

I’m overweight. Walking can be difficult and I was so frustrated that even short walks in the park were exhausting when they used to be something I enjoyed. Walking with a shopping cart wasn’t as hard. I noticed when I walk on my own I tend to weave and not stand straight. I thought about trekking sticks before but didn’t want to spend money on something else I wouldn’t use. I saw another woman using them at the park and screw what I might look like I need to get back in shape and to a weight I’m comfortable with. They made all the difference for me. Tearing up just writing this. I’m out there committing to myself with the ability and CONFIDENCE to walk. In the past 3 years I’ve fallen several times and broken a wrist and other injuries. I know that was affecting my confidence. These trekking poles give me the support and stability and confidence to get out there. Buy them. Use them. Live your best life.

I really should give these five stars but lets be honest, but they are a tad heavy. I think for a day hiker or a weekend hiker (even if you are climbing low and mid altitude mountains) these would be perfect. If you are doing the PCT, going to be on the trail for weeks at a time, maybe worth paying for something lighter, but I am a bit obsessive about weight. That said, for the price, I am extremely happy with them and I have done my best to test and beat them up and they do not fail or have not so far. In fact I would not have bought any other poles anywhere because I would not invest the kind of money they cost. I am an experienced hiker, yet I have never bought into the whole trekking pole thing, thinking of them as some kind of trend more than a useful item, sometimes I use a walking stick, but for years I have used nothing, preferring not to have the weight. However, there was this one hike I was on at 7500 feet and I was on a bit of a razor back with vertical falls on both sides. I have hiked this trail a dozen times and familiar with its terrain. But a cloud came in and it began to rain very abruptly and the trail turned into a wash and what was a normal sunny day became a dangerous experience and for the first time in decades, I decided to check out trekking poles. And was happy to pay 22 bucks plus shipping.

Now as to the compasses that everyone is complaining about being not accurate and popping off the poles. First off, if these poles had good liquid filled compasses in them they would cost much more. Secondly these types of compasses are very common in survival kits and emergency supplies. They are the cheapest of the cheapest compass there is and usually called "button compasses." These are used because they are extremely compact and give you a "rough idea" of NSEW. However, there is a solution for both the accuracy and to them popping off your poles. 1) Accuracy: These compasses can be off by as much as 30 degrees in either direction. This was about how accurate all early nautical compasses were in Magellan and Columbus's time and actually sometime after that it was very expensive to buy high grade compasses even in the early part of this century. But here is a situation where these particular compasses can save your life--you go on a hike you have been on many times, you don't bring a compass or gps, but during the hike (in coastal areas) a thick fog bank comes in and you lose your trail or (in northern areas) a blizzard hits because you forgot to check the weather, etc. If you know there is a river or a road or a power line in a certain direction from your location, these compasses are enough to get you out of being completely lost without the sun, etc to take a bearing on. However, there is a way to make them a little more accurate: So, the first thing you must do is somehow mark your poles Left and Right, with tape etc. Then get or borrow a real compass or use the one on your iphone (make sure it is set to magnetic and not true north) and jiggle the pole compass until it is completely level so that it can come as close to it's northerly marking. On my poles the compass on the left is more accurate than the one on the right but both can differ a bit at any time, however, when you find they generally go to the same spot, take a knife and etch in the plastic a line that represents what your high quality compass is showing as a NORTH bearing, that will give you a general sense of how to compensate and get a bit more accuracy out of them. Then repeat the same thing for the other compass. You also have to remember to be pointing the poles in rough the same direction, for instance gripped in front of you. Now you have two compasses that will give you a general bearing and you can use the two to resolve against each other, as well the lines you have cut will show their rough offset from magnetic north, gaining a bit more accuracy. 2) However, this is useless if they fly off your poles and are lost. How to keep them from doing this is very easy. You can just put a piece of tape over both of them and forget about it, but tape (even the best duct or gaffers tape) deteriorates over time. So I would recommend you take some glue (and I highly recommend gorilla glue because it is non brittle and waterproof and doesn't dry right away) and you will see there is a small gap between the edge of the compass and the plastic housing that holds it. Take some glue, glob it on a piece of paper and then use a small nail or a needle to apply the glue inside that gap all the way around the compass. Wipe away excess, that compass ain't going anywhere!

Remember, there is no replacement for a map and a decent compass, GPS and extra batteries, etc. Never forget that a short hike that you have gone on several times can become dangerous if the conditions change. Also, NEVER go into the woods alone without telling someone exactly where you are going and when to expect you back, then do not deviate from that arranged plan. Also, wrap some duct tape around one of the poles to make an emergency snow blindness kit, by putting two pieces of tape face to face and cutting slits where your eyes go, you might save your eyes from going blind in the middle of the boonies. Be safe and enjoy your new poles!!!

Quick Update: March 23, 2004. Used poles again today on very rough terrain, they held up well, very sturdy and kept locked even under pretty severe pressure. I kept the caps on the ends but was tempted to take them off as they didn't grab all that well on the loose gravelly steep uphill desert wash we call a trail (California Angeles Forest) However, had a buddy with me and when we went back downhill in the dark with headlamps he had a knee problem that started acting up and it was starting to act up worse and worse so I gave him one of the poles and really he did need it to get down. So that was some kind of weird twist of fate where they came in much handier than normal. In the desert there is no sort of quickly makeshift walking sticks from trees or branches which I am used to from PA and MN. Finally, however, the downside of poles (and FYI these are the only ones I own or have ever owned) is that they slow you down, or they slow me down, there are now four mental operations to be made (two hands, two feet) than just two feet and focusing on foot placement. It's true it is safer, but it does seem slower. Maybe I just need to get used to them. Finally another tip about the rubber tips, pun intended, if you really want them to stay on the ends of your poles, diagonally wrap some black electrical tape around them, attaching them to the aluminum. I think they will have a tendency to come off and get lost pretty quickly. Generally, I really think I can recommend these, I think there are times when they could save you from an injury, and maybe your life, especially if you are going into steep or unknown terrain, but for certain hikes that I am familiar with I will leave them in the car to go at a faster pace and leave the weight behind. Really can I say ANY MORE about these dern poles? Someone asked me the weight of them and I don't have a proper scale to weigh them, maybe some one else can do that or maybe the manufacturer will actually list the weight someday in the future? OH and also these compasses functioned just fine with my jiggering, made often comparison to my Silva Ranger compass and pretty much right on with the system I describe above AND the gorilla glue has made them a permanent fixture, they ain't flying off anytime soon, I think the handle would break or fly off first. We did some impact tests, um, like "hit against rock without damaging poles" and they both stayed on. The only way I could make these cooler is if the handles were hollow and you could fit basic survival gear inside, like tinder and a small magnesium rod. Hmmm...home project for next weekend. GOOD HIKING! BE SAFE!

I take one of these with me on my dog walks. We have run into multiple off leash dogs who have come at us and this pole comes in handy for pushing them away and keeping them from getting close to my little dog. It's also very stable and good for providing extra support to me on the walk.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but not great, price had me intrigued, serious hikers look elsewhere. (UPDATED 7/25/16)
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2016
Verified Purchase
Decent hiking poles, however, there are a couple things you should know before purchasing them for yourself. I took these along today for a
9-mile hike, climbing & decending about 4,000 ft, mostly trail, with some rock outcroppings. It was very muddy and slippery in a few places.

The adjustment process is fairly tedious, and I found myself adjusting them pretty often (maybe 30 times over the course of 5hrs). The handles are not comfortable for me, and I have some blisters forming, but I can't really say that they won't be more comfortable to you. (Side note: the tiny compass that comes in each handle is 100% useless, but I'm sure that's expected. Gimmick). I am glad that they included 2 extra "feet" caps for the poles because guess what, yep, I already lost one. I know exactly where/when it happened, as I got the pole stuck in the mud. My fault for not realizing that they can come off so easy, but it's the poles fault for having them be so easy to come off. Basically, if you don't stick them, I doubt they'd come off, but it isn't intuitive to look to see if your foot fell off while hiking. Those are the things that make these poles a 3/5.

The good things are that they are way cheap to buy, fairly light, and I won't cry when I break one/both. If you're a serious hiker, investigate the higher prices and save these for your "leave in the car" set. I'll use them again.

Hope this helps! ;-)

**** UPDATE ******

After posting the review above I was contacted by the seller and sent their updated/new design hiking poles (FREE OF CHARGE) with the hope that they would be a superior product worthy of a better review, even though the original review isn't a bad one.

First, customer support has been exceptional, and I do mean exceptional, not just because I got some free poles. I am very appreciative of the interaction and th explanations. I have every confidence that this company will work to try to make any issues you may have right. Thank you for that.

Second, the updated Hiking poles, same basic design as far as extension and restriction. The handles ARE more comfortable, but maybe not immensely better. I definitely prefer the updated design as the backs of the grip are forgiving on longer hikes. They have removed the gimmick of the non-working compass from the top of the poles and I think that was the right way to go. As. Opted above, the stoppers on the bottom are more of a product of the way the stoppers attach, so just continue to be careful when hiking in muddy/boggy conditions. Strap construction and comfort are improved on the newer model.

Bottom line, I took the new poles out on a couple of 10-12 mile hikes and a few short hikes and they function pretty good! Price point says that these are a good deal, especially if you hike occasionally! If you hike a lot I would look at your pricier options (lighter as well) unless you are looking for a pair to keep in your vehicle for unexpected outings. Would I buy these again? Probably. But if I was going on a multi-day hike, I'd make these a backup. Again, customer service was excellent, so I'd recommend you try them out if you're looking for a solid, well-priced set.

Enjoy! And GET OUTSIDE, 😉

Recurring problem with one pole not staying up, which makes them unusable. I am very unhappy. I bought them at the end of February and have hardly used hem.

The walking poles were purchased as a gift, but feedback from the user is all good.
