## 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: To deflect shrubbery or act as probe for puddles, quicksand, etc. Defense vs bears, other wildlife. Can double as tent poles. Why Aluminum 7075 instead of Carbon Fiber? While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure. Common issues with carbon fiber include snapping, especially when a pole 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. Why Lever Locks? 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; Tip: Tungsten Carbide; Handle: Cork and EVA; Carrying bag: Nylon. Product Length: 24.5 inches fully collapsed, 54 inches fully extended.

Review: Just received. First impression - Impressed. Well made, once adjusted as per instructions doesn't slip. Excellent attention to details in design and instructions. Good set of accessories (though I've ordered six pack of rubber tips along with poles as I expect to use these most). Will update once I start using them, over this weekend, hopefully.

## Features

- MADE 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 built tough enough for the long haul.
- PREMIUM QUALITY: Crafted from elite aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, each 9.7 ounce trekking pole is designed to be lighter, stronger, and more durable than other aluminum trekking poles for hiking.
- ADJUSTABLE: Set to your desired height in seconds, from just 24.5" when fully collapsed up to their 54" max height. 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 comfortable grip on each walking stick. Our threaded pole tips keep the included accessories attached, even in snow or mud.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How heavy exactly are the trekking poles? 4 ounces each? Just wanna make sure of the exact weight.**
A: Hi there, it's 9.7 ounces per pole without accessories. If you attach the baskets and rubber tips, it'll be 10.2 ounces per pole. Hope that helps!

**Q: How long are the poles at their shortest? Will they fit in my suitcase?**
A: It's 24.5 inches short when collapsed. However if that still won't fit your suitcase, you can disassemble it and the length will go down to 21 inches. It'll be very easy to put it back together if you disassemble it.

**Q: Do the new Trailbuddy screw-on rubber tips screw on to these poles? The pictures don't show a lower set of threads on the tips.**
A: Makers of Trailbuddy told me yesterday that they had worked on a new set of threads that attach the rubber tips so that they cannot come off. They promised to send me a new lower pole with new tips. I do not know when this will come/ and be offered online. It sounds as if it will be soon...in the next few weeks.

**Q: Can I hike with them through rivers? Can these get wet?**
A: Yes, in fact it would be good to have these if you're going through rivers - they'll save you from accidental slips especially if the rocks are a bit slippery, and you can also use them to gauge and test the ground (or riverbed) that you're about to step on. We'd recommend giving the poles a thorough drying afterwards though by taking them apart and patting dry or air drying. As with all things metal, rust is an enemy and drying the poles will help prevent that.

*by か***の on 26 February 2023*

購入後、1回雪道のハイキングで使用しました。特に不都合なく使えました。レバー式は調節の動作が楽でいいですね。ボタンロックやツイスト式は力が必要なため、非力な私には大変でした。 レバー部品の銀色のネジが緩いとポールがしっかり留まらず、使用中に長さが短くてなってしまいます。ネジを締めてみたら、大丈夫でした。その調節に慣れるまでは少しコツがいりそうですが、慣れれば問題ありません。(購入直後はレバーでロックしても留まらず、不良品かと焦りました) 逆に、ネジをキツく締めすぎると、レバーがロックの負荷に耐えきれずプラスチックが割れてしまいそうな気がしました。特に気温の低い時期は気をつけて使いたいです。 ケース、スノーバスケット、予備の先端カバーなども付属していて、コスパいいです。 カーボン製や有名ブランドのアルミ製に比べてしまえば重いですが、使用中は重さを感じません。頑丈そうなので、雑に扱っても壊れなそうな感じが大雑把な自分に向いてます。この値段なら、充分です。 ハイキングにガンガン使っていきたいです。
