Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We planned to trek through National Parks and National Monuments in Arizona and Utah. I asked my wife if she wanted me to get her a set of trekking sticks as I planned to get a pair. She said no. She was afraid to appear old and infirm. We are 68 and 70 and in good shape. So I ordered a pair for myself and when they arrived I had put the first one together which was very easy. When she saw it she exclaimed, "That looks great! Did you get me one?" I replied, "I sure did!" and pulled out the other one that became hers. Truthfully, all we needed was one pole each. She was very happy with hers as I was with the other one. We were able to steady ourselves going downhill which is where these are great. We both liked the cork grips and the comfortable straps. The height was so easy to adjust and we could lean all our weight on them with no slip at all. The company contacted us twice, first to ensure that we knew how to tighten the height adjustment screws or if we had any other problems, but the directions were clear. Recently they contacted us to see how we liked them on our hikes. My wife said she felt as though the poles enabled her to walk half-again as long as she normally would. Overall, this was an excellent buy. I highly recommend them. I did a lot of research before settling on these.
