A ALAFEN Aluminum Collapsible Ultralight Travel Trekking Hiking Pole for Men and Women

I was a bit skeptical because it was such a great price. It was great and very stable. We were hiking in Sedona for a week. I had my third back surgery and am still experiencing some foot drop. This is exactly what i needed. It folded up so small, yet it was a great help with my stability. I was able to hike 3/4 of the way up Bell Rock, first time ever. 5+++stars.

This is a well-made hiking pole. I have it in the car at all times just in case. It is a sturdy hiking pole and I recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of stability while just walking (not necessarily hiking).

Although troubled by some of the reviews, I ordered this anyway to see how it stacked up against another sectional pole I use and some Nordic type poles that I ordered. Straight out of the package, I was impressed. The assembly was easy. I like the handle and the strap is actually comfortable. The adjustment for height is limited, but I knew this when I purchased it. The pole seemed to flex when assembled and I was concerned that it might bend or snap. I have now used this pole multiple times and have had to use it to hold my weight on rocky slopes, and when climbing up creek sides and for leverage getting over fallen trees and have no concerns about its strength now. Form most non-pack hikes, I use one pole, and this is it.

this product won't even work. when you put it together, the inside just remains loose and flimsy.

I'm 67 and take my dogs out for walks on our property daily and although this is sturdy enough to use as a walking support I got it as a poking stick. I sometimes call it my womping stick, for tapping dogs on butt to get attention. Plus it works great for poking some of the stuff their getting, in order to identify. Don't want to touch till I know what it is and maybe not then. I find this to be a lite sturdy, functional tool and wouldn't be afraid to take it on the trail.
