Carbon Fiber Adjustable Trekking Poles - Lightweight Quick Lock Walking or Hiking Stick - 1 Set (2 Poles), Cork Grip, Grey

For the price, these were the best carbon poles by far. Lightest by far in the sub $100 range. Cascade is a know brand. They sell a three section pair with cork grips at costco and on here, but the weight, although maybe just around 100g lighter each pole, is noticeably lighter. When extended to 48-52” there is a slight vibration feel/hollow sound when touched to ground but im guessing its not uncommon with light carbon poles. Im happy to accept the minimal vibration as i feel only a single piece pole would be totally vibration freeThese are only about 3 inches longer when collapsed compared to the other three section poles mentioned (which had a similar feel/vibration). When closed, because they are tapered at the end, they move in and out freely an inch or so (the clamp is set at the extended fatter pole diameter so the bottom part is loose at the tapered part when collapsed).Im 5’11” 180lbs and feel these are strong enough to assist with hiking balance. Havent used them yet but wanted a light as possible pair. Compared to most $200-300 name brand sets, these are still lightest or as light. I prefer two sections anyway as they have less parts to break and wont be abusing them so dont have concerns about durability of carbon. Not sure if two sections is considered stronger or weaker than three sections.Also comes with a nylon zip bag to store poles and baskets/partsI guess the one star off is for the loose ends when collapsed and the vibration.

bonne rigidite tres leger bon achat

Poor quality poles. Handle broke off after only a few uses. For the cost I was expecting much better quality.

5 stars and have recommended these to a few other friends. Very solid and comfortable.

Resistentes, bonitos y a un excelente precio. Ligeros y faciles de usar
