TREKOLOGY TREKZ SE Collapsible Trekking Pole (1pc) – Light-weight Strolling Stick for Mountaineering and Trekking – Ultimate for Males, Girls, and Seniors

Excellent product
I usually just grab a stick from the woods to walk with but lately taking more walks and considering the possibilities for shelter systems, it seemed time to try at least one trekking pole.
I can only yet provide first impressions but there are things here worth mentioning.
This is a very nice item. It does feel lightweight and at the end of the day it’s less weight than most sticks I’ve used, just as sturdy and more comfortable. The green version of these were appealing but I’m glad I got the blue because it will be easier to find if misplaced. It’s not too bright and seems a good hue.
Following instructions and having watched the reviews of the similar earlier models, I pulled the pieces together to make the pole and set it to the most comfortable height. It seemed good but a little loose at the joints. If it were possible for two or three of the joints to also twist tight at this stage, the pole might feel like one piece. Not sure if that would add weight or simply be unnecessary but it’s an idea. At the top near the button there seemed to be some extra slack so I took the top handle section of the pole off and let out the cord to investigate. Was able to push some up through the crimp and work it through to tighten back up the knot. I might get some pliers to tighten the crimp a little but I am confident in the security of the thing as it is. The only part which feels somewhat loose is the joint where the two sections meet up near the button. If it were possible that the part just above the button was flanged out a bit, it might not rock around. I barely notice it and it does not effect the stability or any other function but it is there.
The rubber boot part which fits on the tip fits snug and doesn’t seem like it will fall off by accident. Time will tell on that and for the clamping part near the handle used for height adjustment. I’m going to make an effort to not overtighten that part in order that I might lengthen the lifespan of the pole by doing so. It should be easy enought to find a replacement if ever one is needed.
I’ve certainly shaken the weaknesses out of this thing and I’m still impressed by it’s integrity under more than normal weight and with holding the tension of my tarp shelter. It’s an excellent piece of engineering worth more than the price they are charging here. I’m confident that it will hold up to everything I bring it through for quite some time.

Can be improved
Clasps at each section would increase reliability. I have learned to check that the connections are secure. Occasionally, to my horror, the sections have disconnected. Otherwise, this is a good stick. I also have to replace the rubber tips every month or 2.

helps with balance and stability
I liked that it folds up for storage and it is light weight and adjustable height. There is one deficiency a portion of the extend segment seems to get stuck inside of tube, however you can fix this easily.

Includes Only One Pole
Thought it was a great price, but that is because it only includes one pole. It is, however, a good design and light weight.

Easy to adjust and use with sense of security

In der ganzen Beschreibung wird der Artikel in Mehrzahl beschrieben. Stöcke, Wanderstöcke. Nicht jeder liest und analysiert eine ganze Beschreibung und dass 1Pc 1 Stück, Stock, was auch immer anscheinend heißt, weiß ich auch erst seit heute, als eben nur ein Stock ankam. Was soll man denn mit einem einzigen Stock beim Nordic Walking? Es muss dringend oben in die Überschrift der Artikelbeschreibung die Anzahl, das ist für mich irreführend und ärgerlich zudem, weil ich den Stock jetzt zurück schicken muss. Wenn die Artikelbeschreibung in Zukunft weiterhin so irreführend ist, bleibt es auch bei einem Stern!

This is quite attractive and easy to assemble. It is very sturdy and gives confidence.
