I used this hiking pole to go to the bottom of the Grand Canyon (and back) last month, and it performed perfectly. Light-weight, durable, and folds up small enough to fit into suitcase or backpack. The compass and thermometer are very small and stay out of the way of the handle, but come in very handy. I highly recommend this item...

Very serviceable Chinese copy of a Leki pole for less than half the price. Light and sturdy and smooth. Works well as a monopod. Kaito gave me very good service; they shipped the day after my order and packed the item well (long skinny items are expensive to ship correctly). I'm buying another one.

I was looking for a hiking pole, but didn't want to spend $50 for one and then find out I didn't like it. Saw the Kaito, saw some good reviews, and figured it was worth a try. Glad I did! Has served me well so far (25 miles of hiking since I got it) in rocky New England terrain and would buy it again.
