I am now free from Falls!

I love my new poles. They’re my second time purchasing, due to having lost one. I bought a new set. My greatest , and only concern Is that I was unable to contact the company to purchase a new set of poles.

Fabulous travel hiking sticks

These sticks breakdown so easily they are perfect for packing and traveling. The also set up very easy and become terrific walking and hiking sticks giving good confidence with their sturdy structure. I am having a hip replacement in three weeks and will keep them with me for awhile while I rehabilitate.

Fantastic!

This is the fifth pair of these piles I have purchased. They last about ten years and need to be replaced. We have spent years hiking with them and now use them in cities all over the world. Our oldest child is scheduled for a hip replacement and we purchased her a pair of sticks because her main exercise is walking. We absolutely love this product. I turn 75 in a couple of weeks and felt chic using them because walking sticks are everywhere in the big cities in Scandinavia! Thank you! I know others will receive them as gifts!

Lightweight and Comfy.

Poles are sturdy but so lightweight. Certainly provide stability in my many miles of trail running in Colorado. The wrist straps are really comfortable and soft.

Distance Carbon FLZ Poles

Took my new Distance Carbon FLZ Poles on a maiden voyage to hike the Tour DuMont Blanc Trail. Hiked up and down many times on every terrain from technical to flat and they worked great without a single set back. Loved that they fold down so compact that they fit into every compartment of my backpack easily and weigh next to nothing. I had no arm or hand fatigue with high elevation and steep inclines and great support on the declines. Love them đź’Ż

Super light weight!

When I unpacked them and set them up I could not believe how light weight these were. Super comfortable, hardly knew I was using them. They got a workout for sure , 6 days of trekking in Yosemite. My fellow hikers were a little jealous to say the least

Love love love these poles

I had noticed recently that my arms were getting somewhat sore and tired hiking with trekking poles and I had heard about these ultra lightweight poles. I bought the lightest ones I could find and cannot be more pleased. They are absolutely amazing. I barely notice them when I’m using them except for they give me great support. I also love the fact that they collapse very short so I can fit them in a small suitcase when I travel.

I love my tracking poles.

I love my tracking poles. I walk with them every day and this gives me my form mobility without a risk of falling. The only problem I’ve ever had with them are the tips were so very difficult to find a search Denmark in the United States. My son-in-law finally found them for me. Otherwise they’re great.
