Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Hiking & Trekking Poles - Balance Support for Seniors, Women, and Men, 2pc Per Set

These are my first trekking poles. I have used them on two medium length, easy difficulty, day hikes. They work well. They are easy to unfold, adjust, and don't slip or collapse when you put a lot of weight on them. They fold up quickly and don't take up much room. They seem light and easy to use. (When I am using them, I am not thinking about their weight.)I'm now 70 years old and have friends who have fallen and been injured in ways that make life miserable for them. I feel like I am still in pretty good health, but these definitely do help prevent sliding and slipping on slopes or when going downhill on a wet trail. So I feel more secure when I am using them.I bought these based on reviews that suggest that they are good "middle range" choice. The quality is better than the cheapest poles and good enough for an occasional hiker like me. I didn't want to buy $200 poles since I won't be doing the Appalachian trail next year.I feel I got a quality product at a moderate price. I'm happy.

Even for someone like me who's quite mechanically apt, and who has a knack for being able to figure things out...The specific details about the way these poles collapse and expand escaped me until I watched a video about it.I do HIGHLY ADVISE you to watch a video about how they expand and collapse. I decided not to make my own video because there are some very good ones already available here.But... once you get the poles expanded and adjusted precisely for your particular size and use... They work phenomenally well!Even being such thin poles (quite a bit thinner than many others) they still are sturdy and stable on the path, and operate dependably and seamlessly just trekking along in the woods or even on a neighborhood sidewalk (in which case, the're not clunky or loud... they're very quiet with a soft touch on the ground and in the hand.The cork grips and adjustable hand straps are very comfortable while walking or hiking...All in all as I said, they're definitely a bit complicated to setup that first time, but once you get the hang of it, you'll have them torn down or wrapped up again within a minute or two! Easy, Quick, Dependable!Excellent Poles!

These trekking poles are a great buy. They are very affordable and comfortable. They are light and the hand grips fit well. My only complaint is that the directions on how to set up the poles (especially size adjustment and locking mechanism) were sparse and not very clear.

These poles fold up nicely and fit into their own travel pouch. They are sturdy yet very light. Comfortable grips with wrist straps. Length is adjustable to accommodate your height. Price is very fair.

I bought the Trekology-Z walking sticks. They are very easy to assemble and adjust for height. I have back problems and these are much more comfortable to walk with. They help me walk in a more upright position than a regular cane. They seem to be real sturdy and collapse for convenience. I got them to help me with my walking and they seem ideally suited for it.

Trekology's hiking poles are small enough to keep collapsed in a hiking bag and sturdy enough to carry me through a rigorous hike. As I've gotten old, I've had trouble getting out in wilderness and keeping up with my son. The poles have helped me make my way up steep hillsides and keep my footing on loose surfaces. They're light enough that I didn't feel they impacted my ability to move around but sturdy enough that I can lean on them while taking a break. They adjusted perfectly for my height and break down and reassemble quickly. They came with numerous tips for the poles and while I only used the default one it came assembled with, they look to be strong enough to last for a long time.

They work as described, they are light and reliable and work perfectly in every environment, I used them to hike on Cayambe and Chimborazo volcanoes in Ecuador and they were working fantastically, just as an advice for some who might encounter any problem: when you have to pull away the final section to put the rest together, you have to hear a click, and this comes from a metallic tip that holds this section together with the rest, you have to see this tip holding the tube, I didn't know that and was about to return them, once I found out this, they were wonderful.

This is a nice product. The sticks click together well and give you a feeling of confidence. I was able to assemble and disassemble them easily, and pack them disassembled in my suitcase. The only disappointment is that the straps on the handles is not padded. I would have liked that. I don't know that i will use all the tips, but it is nice to have them.
