Foxelli Folding Trekking Poles – 2-pc Ultra Compact Hiking Poles for Men & Women, Lightweight Strong Aluminum 7075 Collapsible Foldable Walking Sticks with Flip Locks, 4 Season All Terrain Accessories

Not having used trekking poles before I was keen to keep their weight to a minimum but at the same time being able to rely on durability as well as getting ones that were of compact size. These seemed to tick the boxes. So far I've only used them once, and at the same time shared them with a friend, for navigating mini streams and short, but steep, hill descents. My friend and I both agreed that we would not have managed as well without the use of the poles. Feel I've got my monies worth already. My friend is going to get their own set!

Great quality

Received these as a gift for the upcoming Seven Sisters 25k in NC in April and other races since I am dedicated to mostly trail runs. Using these poles makes it especially safer on the major uphill climbs and technical aspects of trails. Prior to getting these poles I was worried about weight, size, durability, and cost. I must say, the Foxelli folding poles meet all my needs + some! While these are Aluminum, they aren't as light as carbon fiber, but IMO they are more than light enough to carry in my hydration pack until needed and while using. I even leave them together and carry in one hand while running on flat or mild down/uphill sections so I won't have to put them back together and barely know they are there! I dare to say I may not feel a difference between these and carbon fiber poles. They fold down very nicely into three sections and when folded total a length of just around 15 inches, much shorter than the telescoping poles sold. Since they are aluminum, they are lightweight yet STRONG...from my understanding carbon fiber poles while lighter are also much more fragile, and with me sticking the poles in between and on rocks, I wanted something that will hold up to the punishment. So far so good after a few runs with no scratches, dents or signs of weakness in the poles, and they help this 180 lb trail runner up the hills with nary a bend in the pole (but even then they come with a 2 year warranty if anything should happen to them). And while I received these as a gift, I still didn't want someone to overpay for equipment, and these are almost ridiculously affordable, a 1/4 or more of the price of other reputable brands! These can be used for hiking as well as trail running and are a great option for someone needing this kind of equipment!

These poles are a great value. They are easy to adjust, very sturdy, the baskets are easy to put on and take off, and the grips are good. I use them as training poles for mountain ultramarathons. They are significantly heavier than the Black Diamond poles that I use in races but they are less than 1/4th the cost and the additional weight benefits my training. I am extremely pleased with them.

The product was great quality and the shipment arrived ahead of schedule. I bought the product, hoping that it would get by airport security, because it will be used for hiking in Europe. We shall see.

Un de mes verrou est déjà cassé....il avait une faiblesse car a peine si j'ai vissé pour serrer mon bâton et crac il s'est brisé, pourtant l'autre verrou à très bien fonctionné...je suis très déçu car dispendieux... Est ce possible d'avoir un verrou adapté a ce modèle? Si non je souhaite avoir un nouveau bâton. Que me suggérer vous? Merci
