These hiking rods are very strong. I'm a bit wobbly sometimes and I need stable walking sticks. These hiking rods provide stability and break down into a compact bag. They come with accessories.

I take a few miles walk along a lake trail in northern California and these poles work really well. I cruise along faster as they are lightweight and stow away in my car fine. The "clips" sometimes loosen up in my car if I knock something against them and then the pole will shorten, but it's easy to extend again to correct length. As a senior in my 70s, I highly recommend these. The cork had a minor flaw in it for a while, like a tiny sticker but that eventually wore away, it was poking at my hand. I didn't let it bother my walking fun. I've used these for about 5 months now and so far so good.

I liked that they were very sturdy, and came with different "feet." These were really a lifesaver at Grand Canyon climbing back up that Canyon wall. I'd recommend them to everyone

Lo utilice para una caminata en el monte misionero, son muy livianas y el mango de corcho es buenísimo porque absorbe la humedad y uno puede caminar tranquila. Muy recomendables.

I had to write a review as these poles were a godsend on two recent major backpacking trips. I bought two sets of these poles for an upcoming trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons National Parks that my husband and I were going to be taking this summer. We were hiking up Mount Washburn which goes to 10,000 ft and were recommended to have trekking poles. We both found these poles very easy to adjust to our individual needs. By adjusting the tension on the screws and then snapping closed the tab the poles could be easily locked into place without slipping. Mostly they were useful for reducing stress on joints as we climbed and the wrist straps gave great support without over taxing the arms. Our hike was about 4 hours long (up and down) and most of the terrain was gravel.
There are two types of feet (knob and walking foot) to put on the spiked tips. Both were useful. I personally liked the walking rubber feet on the gravelly incline but when it got steeper I removed the rubber tips and went with the spikes for better traction. We also added the snow baffles on since there were parts of the hike that had snow in July and they functioned well preventing the pole from sinking too deep into the snow.
On another more recent backpacking trip to Isle Royale National Park in The Upper Peninsula of Michigan these poles were by far the best piece of equipment besides good hiking boots. There is NO way I could have done this trip without my poles. These Hunger Hiker 2.0 poles stood up to the rocky and muddy terrain of the Rock Harbor trail and throughout all the park trails. I used the round knobs for stability on the rock and ground. Unfortunately we had a lot of rain and I lost (but found) a tip in the mud when I put my pole into mud and it literally created such suction that I pulled the tip off. I fished it out though so that was great, but then after I got stuck in a squat position grabbing for it with my pack on and my husband came to my rescue and ended up losing BOTH his tips the same way! Lesson learned...keep extra tips on hand....we just ordered more just in case. Also don't go into a full deep squat with a 40 lb pack ...lol!!!
These poles were a great investment and at a decent price much less than some of the name brands in expensive outdoor stores. The poles have held up well to two solid backpacking adventures over gravel, rock, mud and trails. I can recommend these poles for anyone new to trekking poles and wanting a solid product at a decent price. The wrist strips are adjustable, comfortable and sturdy. They come with a nice storage bag that straps nicely to the side of a backpack and also travels nicely on an airplane. We store the poles with the rubber tips on so they don't poke through the bag.
One recommendation is to wear some sort of padded fingerless gloves for extra protection on long hikes. They gave an even better grip on the cork handles and held the trailing end of the wrist straps snuggly against the cork grip without creating blisters. I found that especially useful claiming up rocky bouldered terrain.
