Disappointing.

Strap does not stay in position but falls open if not under tension at all times. The carbide tip wore through the rubber tip within a single day. The top cushion on the handle is comfortable, bumping an otherwise 1-star review up to 2 stars.

Did Not Like the Grip
9 months ago
The pole itself is well constructed and the cam locks are very secure when under pressure in use. I returned this pole as the pole's foam grip and huge foam knob on the top left my hands sore. To me the unsculpted foam left no comfortable spot to grip well. Mountainsmith makes better poles. I ended up buying the same brand but with cork grip and am completely happy with those

Great poles

We bought two of these and went back and bought two more. For the price, they are great! They extend to a variety of sizes which is great for my husband, friends and I. We have had these on several hikes and they are mandatory. Concept is very easy.

Perfect Entry level hiking pole/monopod
2 weeks ago
I bought this for my trip to the Yucatán. Many places don’t allow tripods and I needed a hiking pole to hold onto when visiting some of the sites. This pole worked perfectly for this. The pole helped me going up and down the pyramids and steadied my phone for some great photos.

The buckle broke first time using it
1 month ago
Bought this specifically to hike The Narrows in Zion NP. Maybe 2-3 miles in, the buckle broke on the hand strap. I liked the size, it seemed sturdy enough, even with a little weight on it, but for that price, it should last more than 3 miles of easy/moderate hiking.
