Recommended for hikers, snowshoers, and even backcountry skiers between 4'6" and 6'4" tall. The 3 section poles collapse to 24" long and make them ideal to store or to put in a backpack. The spring loaded mechanism inside the pole can be twist adjusted to absorb shock or not, making it ideal for climbing (shock off) or descending (shock on) and all terrain. Carbide tungsten tips, removable rubber tip covers, 2 baskets for both winter and summer and a sweat-resistant polyurethane handle-grip and strap are also featured. The trekking poles are an excellent value and make snowshoeing or hiking more enjoyable improving balance and reducing fatigue.

The adjust ability and spring loaded features are nice. The shock absorption is a good feature for harder ground or packed trails. On thing that I can say is from time to time the locking mechanism does get stuck and I have to get them home to break it free. Overall a good pole for the price point.

I have only used the poles a couple of times. So far, they seem sturdy. It did take me a while to figure out how to adjust the poles since it did not come with instructions. I will be hiking several Catskill 3500 peaks in the next few weeks and will be better able to review this product.
Pros: Great value
