Cascade Mountain Tech Lightweight Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Trekking Poles with Extended Down Grip Plus Tip Kit

We hiked in the Rocky Mountains, and the AllTrails app warned that parts of the trail were icy and slippery. While I’m an experienced hiker, hiking on ice and snow was new to me, so I purchased these trekking poles based on the great reviews and affordable price. I’m so glad we brought them! Combined with our traction spikes, they gave us the stability and confidence we needed to safely cross the icy sections of the trail. I also loved that they collapse down small enough to fit in our backpacks and extend quickly when needed. Another great feature is the interchangeable tips, which let you adjust the poles for different types of terrain. They even come with a convenient storage bag to keep everything organized. Overall, these were a great purchase, and I wouldn’t hesitate to take them on future hikes.

Edit still amazing. See below for update. Decided against buying an expensive pair of carbon fiber poles, and, after mostly positive reviews, figured I'd take a chance on these. Worst case, I'd be out 30 bucks or so. Well, turned out to be best case.. The thumb screws let's you lock down the adjustments, so they don't slide. The cork grip is very comfortable (I prefer cork) and the lower grip works great when you need it. I'm 6'2", so I have them pretty well extended. This last hike I went up (and back down) about 1000 feet of vertical averaging around 35 degree slope... On loose rock. Couple moments I put my weight in these (177) and they held strong. Comes with a variety of tips if needed, which is great. My only "issue" which happens for me and trekking poles, is when they are extended, and I'm going at a faster pace, they have a lot of vibration. But almost all aluminum poles have that to a degree. It's certainly not annoying or something I'd pay three times the money to get rid of. If you know how to use trekking poles, these will serve you well. If you're learning.. They're a good set to start.. So if you do plant at a bad angle, you won't worry about bending them. (also, with aluminum poles, you can heat and bend back as long as they are not crimped) For the money, I'm more than satisfied. Update: so, I've used these for about 50 miles or so, in steep, uneven terrain. They are solid. No damage, bends, or problems. Today I put all my weight on one as I slipped off balance over a large obstacle. Did exactly what they were supposed to do. I'm sold! Glad I didn't pay 139 for a different pair... These are great!

Cheap enough that you're not worried about losing them, yet quality enough that they work great. I can put my weight on them in the downhill. They adjust for a range of people. My friend used mine and bought some. Not the lightest

I'd never used hiking poles before, but I thought that I'd give some a try. I was hiking up a ridge and these poles made it a lot easier to navigate the rocks and large logs. I like the fact that they are telescoping, not folding. They were easy to adjust and hold in place with the clips and thumbscrews. I didn't use any of the accessories this time, but they're nice to have. It's also nice to have a fabric carrying case.

Got these for my wife, to assist her in hiking despite knee arthritis. They are of good quality, easy to pack, easy to adjust, and came with multiple tips for use on varying terrain. Good product at a competitive price!

I have been using an Eddie Bauer collapsible stick for years; it still works but is gradually wearing out. I have used it primarily for wading and fording streams for fly fishing. These new sticks blew me away. The quality of materials from the cork handle to the locking tabs is superb. There is much attention to detail in the design and construction. The fact that you get two of these in a nice carry case is hard to believe for the price point. I would expect to pay more than double for such a nice product. They extend easily and lock and hold firmly in place with no slipping. The trick is to follow the instructions to the letter regarding adjusting the tightening screws and closing the tabs. Even though they are walking sticks, they have the carbide tips that will perform well on rocky streams.

These Cascade Mountain Tech trekking poles have been a great addition to my hiking setup. They’re very lightweight but feel solid and well-built, especially for the price. The aircraft-grade aluminum gives a good balance of durability without feeling heavy or clunky. They adjust easily, lock securely, and have stayed put while hiking. I’ve found them especially helpful for balance, reducing strain on my legs, and managing uneven weight in my pack. On longer walks and colder hikes, they’ve made things feel more stable and controlled rather than fatiguing. The grips are comfortable, straps are easy to adjust, and the included tips make them versatile for different surfaces. They pack down nicely when not in use and are easy to carry. Overall, these are excellent trekking poles for day hikes, casual to moderate trails, and anyone looking for reliable support without spending a lot. Simple, effective, and well worth it.

Very good quality, very comfortable grip. The flip locks ("quick locks") give you reliable control and I strongly prefer them to the screw-together kind. Comfortable cork handle. On a first outing, absolutely no problems. There's a full set of rubber tips included (3 kinds, plus the integrated carbide tip itself). My use: Going uphill: I carry one stick (rather than strapping it to my bag) in a shortened position. That lets me brace on things without touching them or catch myself falling "up". Going downhill: Extended to normal for my height + a little bit and I use it ahead of me to take strain off my knees and provide stability on loose surfaces. Level ground: I typically don't use. These are "basic" but everything you need in a hiking pole. You're saving a lot of money and not losing anything by going with these instead of the big national brand-names. I would only use those (national brands) if you specifically need the ultra-compact design of "Z" hiking sticks, need a particular kind for your tent, or are sold on carbon-fiber's few ounces less weight. I usually fly with only one stick unless it's going to be particularly strenuous or snowy. For my fellow travelers, note the sticks WILL disaassemble (easily) to fit in a 22" rollaboard diagonally. It would probably be tight in a 22" spinner (which has a shorter body), and would not fit at all in a "international sized" carry-on. (important considering how much more Z-frame collapsible hiking sticks cost) Highly Recommended.

استخدمتها لمدة ٣ اشهر قوية وخفيفه الجلدة السفلية تأثرت بسبب الاستخدام عدا ذلك المنتج رائع حتى الان

The weight is good. It could take me through some very treacherous trails.. boulders and rocks.. The tip didn't slip once while hiking N the resizing clips are bang on.. Used it in my Everest base camp trek and was the best thing for me ever... It supported my entire weight . 65 kg plus 5 to 10 kg of bag . While getting down put all my weight on this

I bought it to hike Fuji Mountain. The locking mechanism on the shaft did not work properly and kept getting loose changing in the lenght of the pole. I had to stop all the time to make it tight. I gave one star because the grip was pretty good and comfortable. I hope I get a refund.

Great quality hiking poles. Lightweight, easy to set up, flip mechanism holds really well and they fit in hands perfectly.

Perfectos. Eran para un regalo y me han hecho quedar muy bien. Vienen con 4 tipos de "pies" o rosetas distintos, para 4 usos distintos. El sistema telescópico es muy práctico, los puños muy agradables al tacto y hasta son muy elegantes. Mi madre los va a usar para salir a caminar y está encantada. Totalmente recomendables.
