Lightweight and rattle-resistant, the REI Relief Shocklight trekking poles for women supply support and stability without disturbing the peace.

  • Shocklight shock absorbers weigh less than common spring-loaded poles and won't rattle within the shaft as you walk
  • Shock-absorbing poles reduce fatigue while improving stability; lockout mechanism creates a rigid pole when needed for more efficient climbing
  • DuoLock™ extra-strong internal locking mechanisms apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment
  • Reliable DuoLocks enhance stability and make length adjustments easy
  • With the new Stop Lock system, poles won't come apart; system makes the pole sections into 1 unit for security and stability
  • Made from Titanal aluminum for durability; Titanal aluminum is one of the strongest aluminum alloys around and offers mechanical properties comparable to steel
  • 3-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 49 inches and compact to 25 inches for easy storage and transport
  • Ergonomic and contoured women's ultralight EVA foam grips have a smaller and shorter grip than the men's version; adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps provide comfort
  • Extended grip length allows pole to be held low during short side hill traverses
  • Fitted with trekking discs and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; included tip protectors are strictly for travel/packing protection, not intended for hiking

Imported.

Comments about REI Relief Shocklight Women's Trekking Poles - Pair:

First of all, I would have sprained my ankle or slid down a mountain a dozen times without these things. So if you're trekking in the Himalayas or anywhere else, poles are a GREAT idea. I say that because I was very close to not buying or bringing these at all.

These poles are very strong, study, and thick. They don't have as much flexibility and shock-absorption as my sister's Leki's, which were a lot more expensive and felt like butter, so expect a harder feel on these. For me, I ended up liking the harder feel because it added control for uphill climbs, especially when you need to pull yourself up on them.

The grip is fantastic. I LOVED having the double-sized grip so that you can use also as a staff. After a while, my hands and arms got sore, so the option to vary it up was invaluable. I did have some chaffing problems and callouses, but after 10 hours a day I'd be surprised not to.

The LOCKS. They went out at a few crucial moments on my trek. In comparison to the other folks' poles though, they were okay. Almost everyone's went out at some point. So the jury's still out on this one --just make sure you pull as tight as you can when you lock them. And then don't be surprised if they get stuck there afterwards.

Nice investment overall.
