Deluxe Carbon Fibre 4-Part Folding Adjustable Walking Stick Cane for Men, Ladies and Women with Soft Grip Handle - 33.5” to 37.5”

Ok, in short. Pneumonia with Sepsis. Seven weeks in hospital. Seven weeks in bed. Muscle atrophy. Have to learn to stand up again unaided, never mind walk. Hence the very obvious need for a walking cane once I'd got enough strength and confidence to take the (short and wobbly) step from a frame to a cane. Much deliberation ensued. Knew only that I didn't want one of those prosaic metal canes, such ugly things with no grace or style, if you are going to need a walking aid for the forseeable then opt for something a little more attractive instead whilst still being functional, a combination that is rare these days. Happily,this cane achieves both. It is light, it feels strong, it looks ("....oooh, is that a carbon fibre one?") good and its hellishly easy to put together and adjust for size, being compact in design as well-so be warned, it arrives in little more than Jiffy-type bag & you'll wonder what's in it as '...it can't be the cane I ordered'. But it is. I immediately felt comfortable using it, having never had to rely on one before, we still took to one another straight away, perfect chemistry and the confidence to venture further afield every time I go outside for exercise. I expect, as I grow stronger, its day to day use will diminish for now, but no matter, for the more arduous of walks it will still join me, a prop rather than a neccessity but, for all that, a most pleasing one which I really cannot fault.

Light weight and very strong. A good stick.

Really nice stick. Love that it’s carbon fibre, it’s lightweight and really durable, folds easily. It’s comfortable and quiet too, no clicking when I walk. I think it’s totally worth the money, and I’m glad I chose this one after recommendation from a friend. My only warning is to be careful when it’s folded on getting it out of a bag or reassembling, it snaps back together very quickly and easily, which is great, but I’ve also caught my finger/skin in it a few times - now I’m aware, I’m a bit more careful and it’s not a problem, but definitely something to consider. I do think this can be a problem with a lot of folding sticks, not necessarily isolated to this one. I’d definitely get another if I needed to.

I have found this so good, has helped a lot. Nice and light but can take a pounding, I’m no lightweight, and folds nicely, I really like the storage clip. I’ve been so impressed I’ve bought another so one in rack car. They fit nicely into a door pocket, adding no weight, and in terms of ‘storing’ it whilst out, I’ve found it slips into the inside pocket of my gillet. I really am impressed.

First things first... I'm late 40's and have developed an unexpected problem with my hip. I was therefore looking for a "walking aid" that fits my age bracket (HIP & trendy! -lol). This stick hit the mark straight away. Really pleased with the way it's finished. The carbon fibre weave is subtle but stylish! The "Derby Style" handle is solid in the hand (not at all rubbery) so don't expect any cushioning if you have delicate palms. Mine are OK, so no issues and it actually fits the hand nicely and feels solid to hold when supporting yourself or walking. The ferrule (rubber foot) on the end is also more stylish than standard / other versions in my opinion. Being made of carbon fibre means this stick is about 30% lighter than its aluminium brothers & sisters. Another positive in my opinion. If you are folding it and putting it in a bag, the weight can make a difference, just as it could if you have any upper body or arm muscle weakness. When in use the stick feels sturdy and reliable. It's easy to adjust its length with the loosening of a collar and the press of a button. When tightened fully after adjustment, there is very little if any "click" from the pieces knocking together in use. It's almost silent, unlike many aluminium versions I would imagine. Finally the stick folds easily with an elastic cord holding the 4 pieces together, same as others. But with this stick you also get the little plastic holder to slide over the stick when folded. This is much better than those that simply offer a cord to hold the folded stick together. All in all highly recommend for anyone looking for a reliable, well made, light and stylish, folding walking aid. Good for men and women, but I would imagine the design would appeal mostly to my hobbling "brothers'". Good value for.money and delivered fast by Amazon as usual.

Lightweight strong smart

no sign of carbon fibre construction. It's quite sturdy though despite that. It can support me when i put all my weight on it but only just. I would say it's rather overpriced. But well made nevertheless.

Used regularly. It is strong, gives good support and does not flex like some cheaper metal ones do. Recommended
