A
couple of years ago I was on chemo and got neuropathy. This really
messes with my balance when I am walking on uneven surfaces. I had
one TheFitLife trekking pole and like it so I figured I could use
another. So I got the TheFitLife Nordic Walking mountaineering Anti
Shock Hiking Trekking Walking Trail Poles, 2-pack, Folding
Collapsible Alpenstocks, ultralight for travel mountaineering.
The
title of this says “folding” which isn't quite right. It
telescopes but doesn't fold. I actually like the telescoping better.
The folding one sometimes stretches out when it gets stuck in the
ground. These don't.
I
like how these have a shock absorber. When you push it down it gives
a little and then goes back. This is nice for comfort.
The
handle is not very cushy so it could get slippery if it is wet. I
have not had issue with it though. There is a wrist strap too.
One
of the reviews said something about no directions but there were
directions in with mine. I included a picture of them.
There
are other tips included for if you are on ground that is soft or
snow. I have not used these since I did not need them.
I
found these easy to make the right size. There are markings so that
you can keep track of what length you need. This way you don't have
to figure it out each time.
Another
thing I really like with this set is the bag for them. It has a
strap that you can throw them over your shoulder. It is like the
strap on a “bag chair.” This way I don't have to tie up one of
my hands. This is important to me if I am going to a picnic or
something like that.
These
are plenty sturdy to me. I have had no issues.
If
you are looking for a two pack of trekking poles, this is a great
set.
