About this item
- BUILT TO LAST: Whether you're hiking on rugged terrain or the beaten path, you need hiking gear that can keep up! Trailbuddy trekking poles are built tough enough for the long haul.
- LIGHTWEIGHT: These hiking poles are crafted with strong aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, tougher than carbon fiber yet weighing almost 4oz less than your average trekking poles for hiking.
- ADJUSTABLE: Set to your desired height in seconds, from the 54" max height down to just 24.5" when fully collapsed. They even double as hiking poles for kids!
- EASY TO USE: Our lever locks can be easily operated with just one hand, which is much easier than the 2-handed twist locks on other walking sticks for hiking.
- SECURE & COMFORTABLE: The padded straps and moisture-wicking cork handles will mold to the shape of your hand for a secure and comfortable grip on each walking stick. Our threaded pole tips keep the included accessories securely attached, even in snow or mud.

Product Description
TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability in a complete set designed for the trekker's comfort and ease of use. Why use trekking poles? 1. Reduce impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips 2. Increase speed, balance, and security 3. Get more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains 4. Great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues 5. Other uses: - Can deflect shrubbery or act as probe for puddles, quicksand, etc - Defense vs bears, other wildlife - Can double as tent poles Additional advantages of Aluminum 7075 While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure - common issues include snapping especially when it gets stuck on rocky terrain. Aluminum will not snap. It might bend under extreme pressure, but you can more likely bend it back and continue using it. Additional advantages of Lever Lock Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily. This is helpful if packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length is needed. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles. TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of our products. Product Specifications Shaft: Aircraft Grade Aluminum 7075 Handle: Cork and EVA Tip: Tungsten Carbide Carrying bag: Nylon Length: 24.5 inches (collapsed), 54 inches (fully extended)

A lighweight storage bag is included, and with judicious packing, you can get the poles and the extra tips into the bag.
Also, they do sell parts, so if you damage a pole, it should be possible to repair it without buying another set of poles.
Pros:
First, the color brochure is nicely done with only 1 problem (see Cons). The brochure is a combination of customer services info (nice!), how to get replacement parts (nice!), descriptive details, and instructions for assembling and using the poles. The manufacturer includes lots of value-added accessories: snow feet "baskets", mud baskets, and a spare pair of rubber tips for hiking on hard, flat, or rocky areas. I love that they included a tip (no pun intended) for using rubber tips at places like Machu Pichu to protect the terrain. Very thoughtful. Also included is a storage bag with a slide-adjust toggle closure and an adjustable carrying strap. The bag is very light weight and feels like it's probably water resistant. All these extras are so nicely accommodating for the consumer.
Cons (assembly):
For the pole height I followed the recommended height and length (46" for a 5'8" person). That's when the frustrations began...
Very difficult to unscrew the adjustment screws! I assume they are machine-tightened before packaging because I couldn't get them to budge. First I tried a grippy pad. No go. Then I tried a pair of channel locks with padded tips. Success. After 20+ minutes of making height adjustments, testing, repeating, I FINALLY got the poles assembled in matching heights. BUT, they were too tall! OHMYGOSH, I had to re-do the entire process again. I shortened the recommended height by about 1/2" then tested the poles outside on several sets of stairs, each with different configurations, risers, building materials, etc. The shortened height on the poles worked well up and down the stairs with the standard rubber feet.
Cons (a print issue):
The brochure is a good read except for the section titled "Uphill or Downhill". The gradient blue fill behind the white text fades off into oblivion on the part where the light side of the blue background color. The white text on light blue background makes this section difficult to read.
With all the well-thought out accessories included, I hope the manufacturer might consider including a small pouch for carrying the spare gear, i.e. alternate baskets. Also, please consider including a shorty 7/16" wrench or other tool for making screw adjustments during trekking. It is possible, in some geographic trekking locations, one will encounter different types of ground conditions, e.g. snow in some spots and mud in others. It would oh-so helpful to have that little pouch on hand to carry the alternate baskets and the small tool for adjusting height for uphill/downhill. I bought a short 7/16" wrench to carry on my treks. I had an old small cosmetic bag (approx 4"x4") that I attached to one of the poles with a zip-tie. Now I've got all the gear with me, just in case.
Bottom line: these are GREAT POLES with supportive customer services and an overall highly recommended product!
