Nordic Hiking Pole - Collapsible, Lightweight 7075 Aluminum Walking Stick for Seniors, Men, and Women

So easy to carry and collapse when needed.

Key word plural. Effective and easy to use but note it says pole, not poles - u thought it was a set when I ordered it. I don't want to carry 2 bags for separate poles.

Perfect height and weight. Good handles

Update to earlier 1-star Review: I read another review in which the buyer explained how to properly tighten the pole. This pole MUST be sent with instructions. I received no instructions at all and could not make the pole extend and tighten into place. Now it works... but only because of another buyer's explanation. So, ok, I revise the review of my experience to 3 stars.

Got it half price And tested the walking stick. It Great and at great price.

This is a SINGLE hiking pole that telescopes together for travel. It consists of 5 telescoping aluminum tubes. Two of the tubes come inserted inside the top tube; you have to loosen the single plastic clip at the top to pull them when assembling the pole. All the tubes are connected with a steel cord. Another reviewer mentioned that there is a button somewhere that you can press to tight the cord, but I haven’t found it yet and it’s not described at all in the instructions. On the bottom of the pole is a metal tip, covered with a removable rubber tip. In the box you are also supposed to get a round sand baffle to optionally put around the base to prevent sinking in sand. The grip is thick foam rubber with an adjustable nylon strap. Also included in the box is a mesh carrying case and sheet with instructions.I like the color of this pole—it certainly looks great, and the grip feels good in my hand. However, for the life of me, I can’t figure out how to tighten the steel cable that holds the tube parts together, so if I lift the pole off the ground, all the tubes fall apart. If you can figure out how to tighten the cable, please send tips or take some photos since that little detail isn’t covered in the instructions. The original product description and photos, and the photos on the instructions, showed this as a pair of poles. I need a pair, and it’s hard to walk with a non-matched set, so I probably won’t ever use this single pole, even if I do ever manage to get it to stay together. The height is also too high for me—at 5’2”, I walk with poles extended to 32”. At minimum extension, this pole is 43”. So it’s meant for tall guys, I guess, tall guys who like to walk with a single, not 2 poles. Overall, this pole may work for some people (if they can figure out the assembly on their own), but it’s not for me.

The worst item ever on this site.

I deducted a star because from the description I thought this was a pair of hiking poles but only received one pole. I went back and read the description and it is not clear on if this is a single pole or pair. Obviously it is a single pole. The pole itself is very well made, sturdy and pretty lightweight. It has a an adjustable height that works well and has a good range of different heights. It took me a minute to figure out how to assemble it. It is not hard but takes a moment to figure out how it goes together. It has an internal cable to keep all the pieces together when disassembled so you won't lose a section. It folds up nice and small and easily fits in my 35 L daypack. I typically hike with one pole so I replaced the one I had that I use to have to strap to my backpack because it did not collapse small enough to fit in the backpack. The pole id like most and has a carbide tip you can expose if needed under the rubber foot on the bottom of the pole. It comes with a couple different style feet and snow basket. It is perfect for me I am a light hiker but sometimes get into loose rocks or ice patches and need a little more support to keep me upright. So far this has been great for that and I love it folds up and fits in my pack.
