Great poles!
I bought these trekking poles before heading out on long winter hikes, and I want to share my experience. Pros: Bright color – this was one of the main reasons I chose these poles. Even in snowy conditions, they’re impossible to miss and won’t get lost. It’s really convenient, especially when hiking in snow or fog. Non-slip handle – the handles have a special coating that grips well, even with gloves on. This is a crucial feature for winter hikes, when you often need to handle gear in freezing temperatures. Built-in screwdriver – this is a real find! I didn’t expect the poles to be so well thought out, but the built-in screwdriver is genuinely handy and useful. Something always seems to break in a hike, and the ability to fix gear right on the spot is a huge plus. Snow rings – another nice feature. They prevent the poles from sinking into the snow, which is essential for winter hikes. Cons: I haven't noticed any so far. Everything works great. Would I recommend these poles? Definitely yes! These poles are great for both beginners and more experienced hikers. They’re comfortable, functional, and well-designed. I’m sure I’ll keep using them again and again.

Perfect poles!
These poles are exactly what I was looking for. Just the right amount of adjustment length-wise. Super secure, yet easy to open quick release closure. Minimalist, whippet-like hook at the top of the grips helps with binding adjustment on the fly. And they look awesome too!

I LOVE these sooooo much
These popes are rad, the swing weight is really nice, the locking mechanism works really well and the color matches my fit insanely well.

Basket installation - ridiculous
When the baskets on poles are so hard you need instructions, and there are no instructions with the product, you have an issue. Internet YouTube where each person posting really struggled, and one hurt his hand…. . give some pointers BD.
