Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Mountain climbing & Trekking Poles – Stability Assist for Seniors, Girls, and Males, 2pc Per Set

Great trekking poles for a hiking novice.
Trekology’s hiking poles are small enough to keep collapsed in a hiking bag and sturdy enough to carry me through a rigorous hike. As I’ve gotten old, I’ve had trouble getting out in wilderness and keeping up with my son. The poles have helped me make my way up steep hillsides and keep my footing on loose surfaces. They’re light enough that I didn’t feel they impacted my ability to move around but sturdy enough that I can lean on them while taking a break. They adjusted perfectly for my height and break down and reassemble quickly. They came with numerous tips for the poles and while I only used the default one it came assembled with, they look to be strong enough to last for a long time.

Good poles for moderate terrain. Did not try on more difficult surfaces.
These are great poles for travel as they collapse and have a fabric case for packing. They worked well for light hiking in varied terrain (some hills, rocky places, wet places). I don’t know how they would do for long hikes or very difficult terrain. But they worked well for me.

Durable and Trustworthy
Nite: this review is of the version 1 pole set.I’ve logged hundreds of miles with these poles over the last two years, and they’ve exceeded my expectations. Part of me has been waiting for them to die so I can justify getting a sexier pair, but they just keep going strong!My hiking buddy has gone through two of the expensive pairs in less time than I’ve had these. After his last carbon fiber pair cracked on the Long Trail, I decided to give these a review.The cons first:Weight – These are heavier than many expensive alternatives. Personally, I’ve never found the extra few ounces in my arms to be a problem. If I was carrying them in my pack, that might be a different story. Nevertheless, for the ounce/gram counters this is a drawback.Attachments – The basket tip-attachments broke on my first hike with these poles. The threads on the shaft are still intact, so I could just use a different set, but I’ve never felt a need to do so. In muddy or snowy conditions they would be helpful, but not necessary. Besides, I’ve seen the attachments break on far more expensive poles, too. It’s a pretty common design flaw.The Grips – these look like cork, but they’re not. They can get slimy after many miles, which is unpleasant. This is probably true of most solid grips–regardless of the brand. I don’t hold this against the Trekkology poles.The Cables – I’ve noticed that the cables may now be a little stretched out on my poles. This isn’t a big deal because they’re still taught enough to hold the poles firmly together under average conditions. However, when the poles get stuck in the ground, they’ll stretch apart at the joints as you pull them out. Not so far that the poles come apart, but far enough to make a loud click as they spring back together. Not a big con in my mind.The Pros:Durability – these have held up over hundreds of miles of intense use. They’ve gotten caught in between rocks and roots, stuck deep in the mud, and battered endlessly. At this point, they’re scratched and the straps are a bit frayed, but they’re as reliable as ever.Strength – I can easily put my full weight on these poles (165 lbs). I’ve relied on them to get through some seriously hairy obstacles, and they’ve never let me down.Straps – the straps are made out of a soft seatbelt-like material, and they’re comfortable and strong. I wrap the straps around my hands when I use poles, and I use them for leverage. As you can see from the picture, they’re a bit frayed now, but that’s only after a lot of use. I still trust the straps to hold my weight, and they haven’t disappointed me. The straps are more comfortable than some of the heavier, woven and padded varieties I’ve seen.Fittings – the shaft clamps and locks are solid and strong. They’ve never slipped or loosened on me.Conclusion:For the price, I recommend these poles. You’d be hard-pressed to find a set anywhere near this price point that’s as durable and well-designed. They may not carry the fancy name, but they work well.

Excellent poles and price point.
I’ve used these poles many times now since we bought them and we are very happy with how they work, the features of folding up small and light weight yet performing strong and tough. The reasonable price is also a huge factor. All in all a great purchase.

I have been using them for over a year now, I love how compact they are and easy to transport in the pouch provided.
