TREKOLOGY Hiking Poles with Real Cork Grips, Adjustable for Heights 5'2'' to 6'5'' – Lightweight Trekking Poles, Aircraft-Grade Aluminum, Compact Fold for Hiking & Backpacking (2pc Set) TREKZ Cork SE

Hiked the Coast to Coast trail across England and these trekking poles were a lifesaver. They were sturdy and seem to be great quality. We hiked a lot of up- and downhill, so the height adjustment was absolutely necessary. They were easy to adjust and stayed out at that setting. Dependable for fording streams, keeping balance, and checking for boggy patches. The handles and grips were comfy and the straps - when used properly - kept my hands and wrists from tiring m. My one complaint is that the tips swivel out of place. On the asphalt tips, they’d go sideways and I was constantly adjusting them. These need to have some mounting method where they stay seated in position.

Loved these trekking poles! Really put them to the test hiking in Norway! So grateful to have had them in my backpack! Lightweight, easy to fold! I highly recommend them! Great design and comfortable cork handles.

They work and seem sturdier than other poles in this price range. I like the cork handles as well. One of the poles has a slight rattle to it, it seems to potentially be from the cable inside. It hasn’t affected performance.

These poles were really easy to put together and lock in the right height. They also easily fold up to be stored away. They will be great when I go walking and will make it easier to stay stable. The handles are comfortable and the poles are light weight.

I love these. Light weight, adjustable height, foldable so you can throw them in a bag and travel with them. They've proved quite sturdy so far, and I have mobility issues so I lean on these pretty hard as my leg starts to seize up when I walk far. The cover for the end wears pretty fast because we walk on concrete or asphalt, but that's not an issue. Love 'em.

Perfect, fit in backpack. Just what I needed.

Took me a while to realize that there are THREE steps to getting these functional. First, and most obvious, unfold the pole and fit the three parts together. Second, and marked but hard to do the first time so not terribly obvious, is pull the rings apart until they click, so that the steel cord inside the pole is stretched, and thus under tension to keep the pole stable. Third, and pretty clear, is to open the clasp to extend to different heights. Now that I've done it, it's easy to do and undo, and I like how stable they are walking, and how small they pack.

I bought my first pair of these years ago and finally lost them to TSA. So, I ordered another pair to replace them. The style has changed some. I am 5'3" and these are too long for me. To use them properly, my hand will be below the cork handle. It will be impossible to shorten them for ascending a slope. They look lovely and they pack small and are light, but it's too bad they will not be very functional for me.
