The quiet REI Traverse Shocklight trekking poles provide stability and support so you hear the sounds of nature and not the clicks of your poles.

Shock-absorbing poles reduce fatigue while improving stability; lockout mechanism creates a rigid pole when needed for more efficient climbing
Shocklight shock absorbers weigh less than common spring-loaded mechanisms and won't rattle within the shaft as you walk
Internal twist-lock mechanisms apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment
With the Stop Lock system, poles won't come apart; system makes the pole sections into 1 unit for security and stability
Twist-locking pole sections let you tailor the length to fit your terrain: make them shorter for the way up, longer for the way down
Strong 7075-T6 aluminum, 3-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 55.1 in. and compact to 27.5 in. for easy storage and transport
Soft EVA foam hand grips have an ergonomic, contoured shape that is easy to hold; adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps add support
Fitted with trekking discs and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; included tip protectors are strictly for travel/packing protection, not intended for hiking

Imported.

So far no issues with the product. I just need to remember to tighten the poles ht adjusters so the poles dont shrink as I am hiking.

Comments about REI Traverse Shocklight Trekking Poles - Pair:

I got these for hiking, to take some pressure off my knees and increase my stability. It seems so far they help. The shock-absorber feature is easy to use and get used to. I haven't used them to pitch a tarp with yet, but expect they will work.

Comments about REI Traverse Shocklight Trekking Poles - Pair:

I had never used trekking poles before, but will never hike without them now that have. The REI Traverse Shcoklight Trekking Poles are economical and realatively light weight. They felt comfortable in hand and sturdy. The pole segments stayed in place and did not slip under load. But the shock lock tends to come unlocked. I am pretty sure this is the result of how I rotate my grip as I plant the pole and not a defect in the product. The shock lock is secured with a slight twist of the wrist. After all sections of the pole are adjusted to the proper height and tightend down, grip the upper section with your right hand and the middle section with your left hand and twist your right hand towards your body and your left hand away from your body to activate the shock lock. The adjustment is subtle and only requires you to rotate the pole shafts about 3/8 inch before the lock activates. To unlock, do the opposite. I usually hike with the pole shock locked out, but like to have the option available.
