Covacure Hiking Poles Collapsible Trekking Poles - Aluminum Alloy 7075 Walking Sticks for Hiking with Telescopic & Foldable Tri-fold Design Hiking Gear for Women Men, Hiking, Camping, Climbing

I wanted a collapsible, lightweight and durable pole to be used as a wading staff for fishing. I wanted aluminum over carbon fiber for durability in rocky situations. These poles are well made, extend and collapse with minimal effort. The price for these is well below the dedicated collapsible wading poles marketed for fishing and you get a pair instead of just one. These do not come with a lanyard, as the wading staffs do, but a lanyard is easy to make. If you buy these poles for fishing you might want to consider making or buying a pouch to wear on your belt that has semi-rigid sides to make it easier to remove and insert the pole with one hand. They do come with individual bags for storage that can be attached to a wading belt, but these bags are bit more difficult to use one handed, since they collapse when nothing is in them.

Good for walking and balance. Easy to adjust their height, are lightweight and easy to use provided links and videos. Good to help with walking and improving balance. Videos of proper technique help you adjust to coordinating your arms with your feet to walk smoothly on different surfaces, including uphills and downslopes. Great exercise for your arms too. These are foldable and packable for travel, but may need to be checked in luggage for flights since they have sharp tips under their various choices of protective rubber tips for different surfaces. Good price for a good set to learn and use whether in the neighborhood or for hiking the trails.

These work well , easy to use and are sturdy. I prefer using one but glad I have 2. I recommend them and the price is good. I used to have ones that folded in half and they would stick out of my back pack. This trifold fits perfectly and doesn’t take much space.

Bought this for my elderly MIL because she wanted to start walking on her physician's advice, but she wobbles and occasionally falls. She was using tree limbs from the yard to keep her balance, and we knew we needed to improve upon this. Once we figured out how they assembled, we just sized them to where she felt comfortable and left them that way. They seem pretty strong; she put her entire weight on them getting up out of her chair, and they were locked in the same position as before. They looked much more safe and efficient than the tree limbs she was using. NOT A CHANCE she will be able to figure out how to assemble them on her own, though. If they ever fail, I'm sure we'll hear about it. Half a star off for the missing instructions, and another half star for the likelihood that we will be called out at some point to "fix" it.

Easy to adjust, very comfy. I won't go on Long walking trips or hikes without it. It was so good that an old lady stole mine when I walked away from my seat lol... She must have needed the support more than I did. That same day I had another pair sent to my hotel. Definitely a good value. I would definitely buy them again. I have used 2 different sets for tons of hiking trips.
