User Reviews

• Some users question the long-term durability of the poles for multiple hiking seasons in tough conditions.
• Some reports of the poles cracking after only minimal use, meaning this pole is not a good choice for consistent use in tough or uneven terrain.
• The tips bend sideways during use, showing a lack of durability and stiffness in certain conditions.

Expert Reviews

• Not as strong or durable as other choices on the market, so they might not last multiple hiking seasons.
• Lightweight, but not the lightest on the market for long-term use.
• The size of the basket is small and makes the pole prone to post-holing in deep snow.
• Not as sturdy or well-priced as the Trail Ergo, meaning it is not the most affordable or long-lasting option on the market.
