Aluminum Collapsible Ultralight Travel Trekking Hiking Pole for Men and Women (Fits 5'3" - 6'2")

This was used as a cane replacement. I have some leg disabilities and canes just don’t work well enough for me. Decided to get this for better cane type leverage while I walk. I’m a big dude and it’s pretty sturdy to hold me while I stand or stumble a bit. The grip feels natural and can be held on top like a ball top cane if needed. The size adjustment is useful. The overall breakdown to make smaller is super easy and helpful. I can have it ready or closed up by the time I’m ready to stand or sitting down to seat. Definitely worth the buy if you need. I can see how this would be great for hiking.

I would give this pole10 stars if I could. I trusted the reviews and hoped for the best with this; I've never used a hiking pole before, and this was relatively inexpensive. for the quality, I am surprised by the low price. Due to a displaced kneecap, I currently have some instability, but didn't want to give up on a much-anticipated hiking vacation. This pole was my hero. I was able to hike various trails and caves at Hocking Hills; up and down rock steps and over roots, etc. and without this pole to help with my stability, I would not have been able to do a fraction of that. It also helped me keep a stable gait on flat walking, which helped take some pressure off the other knee. I was using it intermittently as a cane, leaning on it more than it was designed for, and it was completely solid and sturdy. It folds down to a very compact size, smaller than my travel umbrella, and has a nice little carrying bag, so no worries about getting it dirty. It is very easy and quick to extend and fold up, and the hand grip was a good shape, softness and grip to feel natural in use. It has 3 tip options; a regular cane type tip, a pointed tip, and a round disc shaped one for use in snow and ice. From now on, this little buddy is going with me on every trip.

The walking pole comes broken down, just as you would break it down for travel. It comes with a decent travel bag. It's not really hard to reassemble it . It took me awhile to study the directions, but once I understood what I needed to do, it was rather easy. One of the tricks is to hold up the hanging pieces as you pull down, with some force, on the part labeled "PULL." I now feel confident that I can break it down and put it safely back together. I have taken a short walk with it, and it did seem to help me stay more steady as I walked. As someone else has written, it would be too tall for anyone LESS than 5'5". I am that height, and I 've got it set at its lowest setting. It is almost, but not quite too tall for me.

Easy to use , carry and lightweight but sturdy for 79 year old to use when going out to snowshoe. Easy to adjust.

Love it. Great quality nice, comfortable, adjustable.

I am 5' 2" and I was worried that this wouldn't be short enough for me. No worries there. Infact I had to extend it up a little for me. I like my stick around 47 inches. This goes down to 43. It's light and sturdy. Very easy to adjust, setup or collasp down to put away. I give this 5 stars but it is worth more than that! Also the price was great.

Sturdy support. Because it is collapsible I can travel on airlines more easily with this.

I have been using a cane/walking stick for a number of months and my therapist recommended that I switch to a trek pole so as to allieviate putting pressure on my hand and wrist - so I have used the Alafen trek pole a number of times and my hand feels great - my posture has improved - and it’s a pleasure to use as a third point for balance - thanks much

You must read the instructions first to find where the silver button is to stabilize the pole. Once found, assembly and disassembly is very easy. Haven’t used item yet but it appears very sturdy and when folded it easily fits in a backpack. Looking forward to using it on my next excursion.

Excelente apoyo para senderismo.

Thank you

The product’s quality is good — but the company is fake. There’s no company name or any company information on the item or its packaging. The handle isn’t wood; it’s a sponge glued onto plastic. It’s reasonably strong and looks/feels like good quality. My height is 173 cm. This stick fits tightly under my armpit, which means that is the maximum height at which it can be used safely.

É bastante prático para montar e desmontar. Quando desmontado fica pequeno.
