Foxelli Trekking Poles – Light-weight Collapsible Trekking Poles for Climbing Males & Ladies, Good Steadiness & Help for Seniors

There’s a lot to like about these poles
I looked through dozens of product listing of trekking poles. My goal was not mountain climbing. My exercise routine is mostly walking and I wanted to transition to getting some upper body exercise into the mix. I read that using trekking poles actually did that to a greater extent than I thought. So that’s the rationale: I don’t need these to support my full weight climbing down a mountain trail, I wanted 1) reasonably light, 2) strong enough to not be fragile, 3) easy to change length and hold fast at that new length, 4) comfortable to hold in the handle and with a comfortable wrist strap that can quickly be changed to go from being around gloves in cold weather and a bare wrist in good weather. It’s all there.
Many reviews of various poles criticize the “holding power” of the mechanism that holds the length at your setting. These have a latch and a thumb-turnable bolt that sets the tightness of the latch when closed. It’s similar to other latching systems in products I use but seems to confuse some users. No wrench is required. When the latch is opened the screw is easily turned a bit and you test if the latch will hold tight enough or if you need to back it off and twist the screw a bit more. Setting the right tension to hold the telescoped pole at the set length takes seconds. Far less time than talking about how to do it. Easy and tight when set right. It seems unlikely to get otherwise unless severely overtightened.
I decided that so far I like the cork grip. I tried using the funny boot-shaped tip while walking on concrete sidewalks, asphalt and gravel in my walking loop. I decided that I wanted to try the simple, round tip cover and it was more satisfactory. I was glad that I had ordered a pack of 8 tip-protectors at the same time. They work great. Overall these have been very satisfying purchases.
Edit: I forgot to say that with all the good features, which I’ve now enjoyed for many 3+ mile walks around my town, these poles are also an incredible bargain. Sturdy aluminum, solid locks on the telescoped poles, tips that stay on while I improve my style of use and way less expensive than I expected to pay.

Exceptional Walking Poles
My wife is thrilled with her purchase of these trekking poles. She is a novice in their use but, with knees that have declined with age, she wanted to try them for non heroic climbs up our neighborhood hills and on to local hiking trails. The construction of the poles is first class. They come very efficiently packaged; someone put some serious thought into that. They come with a selection of different tips and good instructions on their use. Assembly is very straightforward, are easy to adjust for the height of the user, and were ready for use in under 10 minutes. The grips are comfortable and the poles have a sturdy feel to them, despite being light in weight. They came with a storage bag with a pocket for the different tips, as well as a pouch to wear around your waist for money, ID etc. All in all these trekking poles are a five star product and well worth the purchase price.

Got me to top of Machu Picchu even with a couple of dodgy arthritic knees!! If I only use them for that they’re worth it but I know I’ll be using on hikes in the future. Strongly suggest you watch some videos on using poles as I found out some simple tips can make a huge difference in using them. Great piece of kit.

Just received trekking poles today, blown away by quality, recently had brain surgery so need to get back into shape hiking. Simply amazing and so durable. Grips are super comfy, made of cork. worth the price as plan on using these or years to come!
