- Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2022⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I like to Snowshoe and hike off trail on the mountains behind my house. These trekking poles work great especially on the mountain terrain. I really like the softer snow baskets because they bend and don't break, like other harder plastic ones, when you hit rocks hidden under the snow. I'm 225 lbs and have had no issues with them bending going up or down the mountain slopes and terrain. And I like the metal snap locks on these better than the plastic ones on other poles.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023Just took them on a hike yesterday. They feel very solid (and I'm a big guy). No slipping on the clamps at all, and they feel solid. I would highly recommend them.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2022Nice back country poles, my son loves them, skiing through brush does not seem to catch the cam toggles so no loss of setting or partial pole loss. Mid grips are well positioned for easy change-up when up hill traverse direction changes. Sweet product.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Seemed like a great product but the pole snapped just above the top latch. No way to repair
- Reviewed in the United States on September 6, 2021Bought these polls for back country tracking in Yellowstone they were comfortable they did everything they should have they were lightweight me at 200 pounds plus my 60 pound pack I could lean on the thing it would bow but not collapse I cannot speak highly enough of these poles they exceeded all expectations
- Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2023I like cam locks
- Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2022I like the features, build, and quality. Color combination is nice and I like the features.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2021Good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good poles
They do the job perfectly at a decent price. I was looking for sturdy poles for telemark skiing in the woods, as they get trashed pretty badly. They're way better than expected 👌.
- ApexSurvivalReviewed in Canada on June 14, 2022
4.0 out of 5 stars Good value poles
So far these seem to be very good value hiking poles. The adjustable tension latches are alloy not plastic, poles are pretty stiff and have comfy grips.
- Ty JoshuaReviewed in Germany on April 12, 2021
5.0 out of 5 stars Compact, light, and reliable splitboard setup
Awesome poles. Perfect for splitboard operations. Durable, quick to adjust. Great for side stepping inclines with the side grip. Nonissue with the snow baskets.
