DENALI Hiking and Trekking Poles By Denali Outdoor Gear - Anti-Shock Durable Aluminum Poles for Hiking Walking Trekking for Men and Women - 1 Pair

If there were more stars to give, I'd give more.... I've now used these poles for TWO years. They have been with me, covering over 1200 miles, within those two years, and I couldn't be more pleased. They are extremely durable, dependable and comfortable. To have rubber hand grips, the comfort is exceedingly surprising. I use rubber tips over the metal tips to help prevent wearing of the metal, bc the metal is not replaceable.... Problem solved. I have NEVER, NOT ONCE had these poles slip from the height I set them at. Once you lock them in place, there is no need to worry at all about safety on decent. I've used them crossing rivers, creeks, in snow, in sleet, on very rocky trails,..... you name it. It almost seems to good to be true to get them at sick a great price.... But em. You won't be sorry you did.

These are the first pair of trekking poles I've tried and used, having finally decided they might be worth having for those rough hikes up/down. They have no bells and whistles like some other poles, but work fine as an intro to trekking poles. I could see the grips becoming a bit uncomfortable if using for a super long period of time. They only retract down to 25"-- something to keep in mind if you need to put them in luggage. At that length though, they're fine tethered to your backpack for times when you don't need the extra stability.

My wife and I got these because we are starting to do more hiking and sticks weren't cutting it anymore. This is our first set of trekking poles and they are very nice. The grips are comfortable and the height is easily adjustable. These poles will save your knees on tough climbs. We've used them on a few trips and they are holding up well.

I really like this product. I recently purchased these in preparation of a hike. Like many other new hikers I was skeptical of the usefulness of trekking/hiking poles.Our hike was 5 miles. Moderate to strenuous. Now I am in pretty good shape. Not great but I do take care of my body, Im a blackbelt in Taekwondo and I have a fairly active life. This hike was tough. Not too tough but it wasnt a cake walk either. 400+ foot elevation change , rocks, creeks, mud, lots of different terrain. There were many times along this trail I was grateful to have this pole to lean on, help steady my footing, and generally assist me as I was hiking.I had one time that it came loose on me as I was using it. A quick twist and I was right back at it.

Ordered these a few days ago. Astheticly they look great. The grips feel good and are comfortable. Everything slides and locks as they should. Haven't taken them out yet to test them on a hike but I'll be taken them with me to Zion and Yosemite next week. Will update review after my trip

Great poles! Durable,sturdy and light weight, worked very well on my John Muir section hike in Yosemite national park recently. Plan to use them on many future backpacking trips. Would have easily given a five star, however, since only using once so far I would rather wait and see how well they last over time. Will comment later.

Husband using instead of crutches. Very happy.

I ordered the poles on Thursday; they arrived on Friday, and my son and I hiked Mt Washington on Saturday. The poles came as advertised and saved my knees a ton of pounding. They also allowed me to safely navigate the steep climb down. I was very pleased with the quality and weight of the poles. Just want I wanted.
