> 3 dayI have put about 40-50 miles on these poles in the past month and half. Great in all areas except the weak mud baskets. Within a few hours of use on a muddy trail, the mud baskets where flexing and tearing off the screw-on sleeves on both polls and broke off by the end of the hike. Replacements shattered within hours of hiking in the winter at 20 deg F. Otherwise all good. Strong: The poles have been used on flat terrain and steep rocky ascents and decents Light: With mud baskets each pole weighs 9.8 oz on my scale compared to 10.2 oz. for the REI Traverse I was replacing. Without baskets I got 9.6 oz vs. This is quite good for aluminum poles. Secure extention locks: no problems with the poles collapsing under heavy use. I appreciate the knurled tension rings that allow tighting or loosening the lock tension without a tool. The fully collapsed poles are also shorter than the replaced poles. Comfortable: Cork handles good in dry and wet weather. The additional foam handle extentions worked well while climing.

Greater than one weekI tackled an extremely difficult hike 2 weeks ago and had to give up before I reached the summit. A fellow hiker advised hiking poles. I ordered these not knowing what to expect. WOW--I not only made it to the summit this time but had energy to spare. The poles never let me down. After almost 6 hours of sweat my hands never got a blister. Easy to use, carry and SO worth the cost.

> 3 dayI am so pleased with these trekking poles. They are very lightweight yet sturdy. They come with 2 asphalt tips which my last one did not. I really like this feature, mud baskets, snow baskets storage tips and a carrying clip. The information folder is so useful telling you how to customize the poles to whomever is using them. Shows the correct way and wrong way to use them. Im so thrilled with the quality and the reasonable price. They collapse to 24 which means I cant place them in my carryon size bag even when I check it (poles have to be checked) but for the quality, a minor inconvenience. I am extremely pleased and am recommending these to all my friends. I am also pleased that I am supporting a small business with Foxelli Outdoor Gear and am going to checkout what else they have to offer! ADD: Silly me! I just read in the enclosed folder them can be taken apart to fit into my carryon size bag! I love them even more!

> 3 dayFor the price this is an excellent product. It has a two point adjustable system. Some might see this as two points of weakness when weight is applied but its pretty damn convenient. Im 511 and I didnt have any issues with over adjustment which can cause weakness in the pole. So far, Ive only used this once for some fairly light hiking. Nothing extreme. Ill update this post if I experience failure in more extreme hiking. Its lightweight and easier to hike with than a wooden walking stick. The one thing I didnt care for is the plastic tightening handle for the adjustment of the pole. I think it should have been made with aluminum like the rest of the pole. I can see the possibility of dropping or falling with this pole and breaking the plastic adjustment tightener and causing the pole to become useless. Plus, aluminum would be very light. Maybe something the company will change in the future. I definitely recommend this product and I wasnt paid or given anything to give my two cents.

> 3 daythey are very slighttly heavier than my other aluminium poles, but sturdier, excellent handles, lots of attachements, very nice bag with pocket and a mini fanny pack. I would certainly buy them again if something happens to these.

> 3 dayGreat product even included a led flashlight! Really sturdy already used them since I sprained a muscle in my leg. Carbon fiber may be lighter but these are super stable.
