I was concerned since it was relatively inexpensive. But it works really well very sturdy. I have a bad back and with this stick I can get the support I need to take a walk. Folds up easily love the bag for it.

This is a piece of worthless junk. I struggled for an hour to make it work. The top section collapses and telescopes with the slightest pressure, so you can't put any weight on it. Then the bottom sections come apart and dangle uselessly when the tip is lifted off the ground. If there is some technique to make this thing stay together, I couldn't discover it. The "instruction" sheet did not help as it appeared to be for a different stick. This is the worst product I've ever purchase on Amazon! In fact, I'm angry to have wasted my time with this thing. I wish I could give it zero stars. I am amazed by all the positive reviews, which I think must be fake, or else reviews of a different product. This stick is unworkable, and a scam. Thank you, Amazon, for giving me a prompt refund!

I only purchased one, as I don’t usually use hiking sticks while Hiking. Glad I did, this was very useful on an intense hike. I would recommend getting two. I was a little worried putting all my weight on this one pole going down a steep decline. It packs up into a nice little bag that fit on my backpack. light weight, Easy to use.

This walking stick collapses into @ 6 or 7 8 in lengths slides into the black bag that comes with it so easily and returns almost instant to a walking stick when removed from the black carrying bag. Very similarly to how a blind persons white and red stick operates. So convenient So sturdy So handy.

This is my first hiking pole. I do like the travel trekking hiking pole now that I have gotten it put together. The instructions that came with it are written in the smallest possible font. I sent an e-mail to customer service to ask how to put it together, but got no reply.

Sturdy and well made. So much lighter than our wood walking sticks. God send coming down the mountain here. Very pleased. Arrived as advertised.

I’m not happy with getting it connected and locked into place. Directions vague and I’m afraid to use for fear it will collapse.

This is my second walking stick. I use it for travelling. It is lightweight and easy to use.
