About this item
- Built to Last: Whether you're hiking on rugged terrain or snowshoeing on fresh powder, you need hiking gear that can keep up! Trailbuddy trekking poles are strong enough to withstand any weather condition.
- Lightweight: These hiking poles are crafted with strong aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, tougher than carbon fiber yet weighing almost 4oz less than your average trekking poles for hiking.
- Adjustable: Set to your desired height in seconds, from the 54" max height down to just 24.5" when fully collapsed. They even double as hiking poles for kids!
- Easy to Use: Our lever locks can be easily operated with just one hand, which is much easier than the 2-handed twist locks on other walking sticks for hiking!
- Secure Hold: The padded straps and moisture wicking cork handles will mold to the shape of your hand for a secure and comfortable grip on each walking stick. The threaded foot covers on our hiking pole tips keep the included accessories securely attached through deep snow or thick mud.

Product Description
TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability in a complete set designed for the trekker's comfort and ease of use. Why use trekking poles? 1. Reduce impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips 2. Increase speed, balance, and security 3. Get more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains 4. Great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues 5. Other uses: - Can deflect shrubbery or act as probe for puddles, quicksand, etc - Defense vs bears, other wildlife - Can double as tent poles Additional advantages of Aluminum 7075 While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure - common issues include snapping especially when it gets stuck on rocky terrain. Aluminum will not snap. It might bend under extreme pressure, but you can more likely bend it back and continue using it. Additional advantages of Lever Lock Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily. This is helpful if packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length is needed. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles. TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of our products. Product Specifications Shaft: Aircraft Grade Aluminum 7075 Handle: Cork and EVA Tip: Tungsten Carbide Carrying bag: Nylon Length: 24.5 inches (collapsed), 54 inches (fully extended)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
1. Because the retailers left a very adorable message from their dog Boomer, stating that if I left a review it would increase his chances of getting treats and going on hikes. While I truly believe they would do this for him regardless, I wouldn’t dare deny doggo of his chances.
2. I actually have a lot of feedback so, let’s get into it.
I’d like to start by saying these are the first hiking poles I have ever bought so I won’t be able to compare them but this should allow me to give an unbiased opinion of their worth.
They are worthy… but why?
Well for starters, they come with a very useful guide on how to use them. Granted it’s not complicated but that merely my own opinion. I simply like the fact that they personalize their product by ensuring anyone can use them.
To further prove that point, they are highly adjustable for multiple heights. From child to adult, you could adjust the size to fit you personally. Max safe length is 54” which is recommended for 6’5”. I mean if you are taller than that… I don’t know.
On to the next awesome thing! Reliance. These things are very sturdy and easy to master. As soon as I hit steep terrain it was like I had been using them for years. They held my weight which is 165lbs. I would bet that they would hold a significant amount more as well. They were also light enough to move quickly with.
The last cool thing is the base attachments. There are several. Rubber for sensitive terrain, like multiple bridges or wooden steps. Then there are tips for mud and snow. I’m not sure how often I would use them for that but still, having the option is much appreciated!
3. Suggestions! My only suggestion is the straps that go around your hands. While they are effective. Long hikes can leave your thumbs with blisters. After a while I’m sure they will callas and be fine but not everyone is okay with that mentality. I was wondering if a rubber material would be more beneficial. Something that gives just enough to allow some reprieve to the tension. I know it needs to be solid though too. So I’m not sure what the best course of action here would be but I wanted to let everyone know that this is literally the only critic I have to the poles.
It’s definitely not enough to affect my overall rating of 5 stars!
I am a 49 year old man who was disabled and forced into medical retirement at 34 years old following a parachuting accident in the Army. I have complex injuries at multiple levels throughout my spine and hips, and I've had 3 spinal fusion surgeries over the past 16 years. Chronic pain and muscle spasms are a constant part of my life, as are instability, sudden weakness, and endurance issues. Those all are obstacles I did not have to manage in my youth. I grew up as a 4-sport athlete and manual laborer who went everywhere on a bicycle. After high school, I was both a full-time Army soldier (Infantry and Field Artillery) and part-time college student raising a family and enjoying an active lifestyle heavy on fitness, sports, fun and excitement. After sustaining widespread injuries to such critical structural parts of my body, I have been struggling in what feels like a totally different life in a different body trying to adjust to the countless changes. For years, the damage to my spine and hips was getting worse, so I kept having to reduce my activities until I was about 80% chair/bedridden in severe pain and misery - and depression. After several surgeries and years of ongoing therapies, trying and adjusting medications, and learning what I can and cannot do (still learning 20 years after the accident), I finally found decent medical care and figured out things I can do to enjoy life again and manage my disabilities, pain levels, and muscle spasms and cramps. After years of atrophying and gaining weight despite reducing calories and eating healthy, I have been able to put together a therapeutic fitness routine to rebuild some physical capabilities and improve my mobility, strength, and endurance while also getting out and about more. That includes walking and some hiking on established trails. I'm not talking about 25-mile ruck marches with combat training exercises mixed in, and I'm not talking about climbing mountains or hiking all day off the beaten path like I wish I still could do. I walk routes of 1.5- to 3.0 miles around my home in a hilly area, almost entirely on asphalt roads or trails and concrete sidewalks. In public parks, the established hiking trails vary greatly in distance and usually are packed gravel, packed dirt, asphalt, grassy paths, or a combination of surfaces. In Ohio's Hocking Hills and Mill Creek Park, there are steps cut into the landscape made of stone, gravel, wood, packed dirt, and grass. Again, it's not climbing mountains, but it can include uneven terrain, steps of different height and depth, and some places can be slippery. For someone who has struggled with falling and fighting through pain and spasms to get out of bed or a chair, being able to walk outdoors and enjoy the scenery and fresh air again is thrilling!
The TrailBuddy Trekking Poles give me the added confidence and stability support I need to be able to continue being active and working on my fitness. They look sporty and athletic, so I don't have to feel embarrassed using a cane or crutches -- and that can be a huge psychological factor for some people. I'm grateful to have my canes, crutches, and even an electric handicapped scooter when I need those devices, and I DO still need them all at times. When I want to feel a bit more like the athletic, physically fit, strong, active person I was the first 30 years of my life, grabbing my trekking poles to go for a walk or going to a park to hike in nature is a big deal, especially leaving the scooter at home and leaving the cane/crutches in the car.
When I'm feeling really good, I can collapse the poles and store them inside their bag (in which I also keep spare tips and tips for different types of terrain), and I slip the bag into my light backpack or strap it across my back. The poles are lightweight. They're easy to adjust, and the licking mechanisms never have failed me or even slipped a little bit. I'm 6'0" tall and my weight has gone from 245-230 pounds. When I need to, I lean onto the poles for support, and they have always supported my weight without a problem.
They're a great buy at a good price.
I have never owned another pair of hiking poles, so I cannot compare with other brands, mechanisms, or materials. I used other people's poles a few times before buying my own, and I've checked out poles in sporting goods stores. I use tripods for my camera, binoculars and telescopes, so I've used collapsible devices with different kinds of locking mechanisms. I generally do not like adjustable/collapsible locking mechanisms that screw to tighten or loosen. The hinged flip-tabs on these poles actually have surprised me with how sturdy and reliable they are. They're adjustable, too, so you can tighten the locking tabs more or less depending on your preference.
My wife, kids and grandkids have all used my poles, so they've been adjusted to different heights many times. The poles have markings on them to use as guides when adjusting. I know which markings I use for my comfort, and I can tell at a simple glance if the poles have been adjusted or not. I always check the locking mechanisms at the same time, and then I'm off!
There can be some chafing on my hands around the wrist straps, but I prefer mine to be slightly snug. If I'm hiking, I keep gloves with me, and wearing gloves can reduce the chafing.
All-in-all, I'm very happy with these walking poles for how I use them, and I recommend them to anyone who wants some mobility stability and support but doesn't need to worry about whether or not they're tough enough to make it to the top of Mount Everest. They might he good enough, but I'd probably take a backup set or two if I were going to do more strenuous and more rugged hiking and climbing. I also would seek advice from experienced climbers regarding the best equipment to use on rougher terrain.
