Customer Reviews
Awesome Walking Stick, beats all others in Reviews!!
I did a lot of research before purchasing this walking stick. It seemed as if many of the cheaper sticks had problems with the telescoping feature and losing the rubber ends and points breaking. I could not find a bad review on this stick, so I purchased it. It is easy to adjust and the cork handle is great as it keeps your hand cool. I love the added features of the compass and temp. gauge, although I need bifocals to read them. This is a great, sturdy, moderately priced stick and I think it is an excellent stick for the price. I would definately purchase another if I wanted to use two of them.
Here's how you tighten the pole
I haven't used the poles yet, I'm about to take them up Mt. Whitney! The poles fit my hand well and seem comfortable. To tighten the pole turn the metal pole below the plastic connector. The plastic conector itself does not turn! Have fun!
best in quality, and the price is right
I went to Cusso, Peru and used the poles to explore the Inca ruins. As a person with back problems, I found the poles to be of top quality and exceeded my expectations. I also liked the fact that it is light weight, and folds up to fit in a packback, yet strong enough to hold my weight.
My old warhorse
I've had this pole for 3 years, and it has been my constant companion on every hike. The cork handle and light weight combine to make it a part of your hand that you don't ever have to think about, until you need it. I've used this pole to see me up steep rock faces, slick wet rocks, and rock-hard ice with never a buckle or slip. It has seen me down boulders that would have surely led to mangled ankles were it not for the assist. It rides in my car with me constantly; for if I were to need it, I would feel naked if it weren't there. Best Amazon purchase I've ever made.
very good
This replaced my older (broken) one. It's well built, good quality and the cork handle sure is a big plus for comfort!! No complaints!
