I looked all over the Internet at higher dollar ones And these are heavier built than the high dollar ones.

I have had these poles for about a week and I’ve had a chance to test them out twice in that short time. The first hike we did was about 6 miles on relative flat dirt with some easy water crossings so that I could get a feel for their weight and adjustability. The second hike we did was with full packs over rocky terrain and several difficult water crossings carrying about 50 pounds.
The poles are light, but they feel like you can put all of your weight on them. They adjusted easily when we had uneven terrain, so that I could adjust one pole shorter than the other. They supported me and didn’t get stuck in crevices as I balanced from one rock to the other on the river crossings.
I like the ergonomics and cork handles. This is a small detail but important to me that the wrist straps were easy to adjust and comfortable on my wrists.
We will be getting another pair for my wife, now we both had a chance to try them out.
They are also priced the same or less than other options in the same category, so we felt that they are also a great value.
As a side note, we also used them as anchor points to set up our blind. By removing the basket we were able to stick them in the ground so they would hold up against the wind. These poles are ultra strong and a great multi-tool.

Brand new to trekking poles and these were super easy to learn on! After about 10minutes I got the cadence down and it definitely felt like some of the weight was dispersed and my pace felt swifter! Very easy to adjust too!

Great set of poles, an upgrade from my Costco ones. Feel very well, very easy to adjust and comes with good attachments. Definitely would recommend.

Very light and sturdy. Knowing they are thicker poles makes me confident on the trail. Need to get me that chair as well but for now its been doing great!
