I've used a bunch of different trekking poles over the years and through experience have come up with a specific set of requirements for the perfect trekking poles for me. Here are the most important characteristics to me: * Low Price * Cork Handle, not EVA foam * Single latch for height adjustment * Needs to adjust short enough to use as a tent pole for my tent (47") and long enough to use on steep downhills (52") * Strong These GPTCamp poles meet all those requirements. I have used carbon fiber poles in the past and even broke one in a fall on a wet downhill some years ago. To be fair, an aluminum pole probably would've broken or bent in that fall, too, but the inexpensive carbon fiber poles I have used all seem kind of flexy. Maybe that isn't the case with high-end expensive poles, but to me, I'd rather have them be a little heavier and sturdier. These GPTCamp poles are very sturdy and don't flex much which inspires confidence. The cork grips feel good. EVA foam grips tend to feel bad in my hand after a short while. I don't use the lower portion of the grip ever, just the cork area. Extending the poles is quick and easy. I like the way these break down to a short length. It fits a pole slot in my pack much easier than a non-collapsable pole which intrudes on the water bottle storage area. The single length adjust I can leave set to my preferred length most of the time, so I just straighten the pole out, lock the sections in place with one pull and am ready to go. This is much faster and easier than fiddling with two or three length adjusters (on each pole!) on telescoping poles that I used to use. I am all-in on collapsable poles now! The wrist straps are easy to adjust and stay tight when needed, but are also easy to loosen if you happen to pull them too tight at some point. Other poles I have used are very difficult to loosen the strap. Notice I didn't have weight as a big concern in my list. While these poles are definitely heavier than some of the carbon fiber ones I have used, they aren't too heavy. I've used them on 8 and 10 mile backpacking segments so far and didn't give any thought to their weight while hiking. It wasn't noticeable and was never a problem. Finally, the price on these is very competitive. I was a little worried that quality would be compromised at this price, but it wasn't. These are a fantastic deal and I definitely recommend them. Note that I don't use any of the accessories on these or any poles and don't carry them with me on trips. I just use the carbide tips. Selling just the poles without all the accessories at an even cheaper price would be my only recommendation for improving these.

First impression before use. Sturdy. High quality and value for money. I love the cock handle and foldable function.

Good quality, it feels sturdy and absorbs the impact well even though it is collapsable & lightweight. Useful for hike tours where you have to hike for long hours over mountainous areas and also carrying a lot of other hiking stuff. Comes with the accessories and a small bag to keep the hiking sticks after use. The cork light material at the handle adsorbs sweat well. Still feels comfy after long grip on it.
