2.0 out of 5 stars There's better products out there., September 24, 2006

This is a reasonably priced trekking pole that's lightweight and fairly sturdy. However, the first time I used it, the carbide tip fell out. I saw some of these at Wal-Mart and examined the tips. Quite a few of them had already fallen out prior to even being purchased. I even tried gluing mine into the staff, but it fell out again during the first use. I threw away the tip and made my own with a nail. So even though this is a well-made pole (except for the crappy tip), I don't recommend it (due to the crappy tip!). Instead, get a Kaito pole. I got one for Christmas and it's awesome. Light-weight, well built, sturdy, the tip hasn't fallen out yet(!), and it has extra features (camera screw-mount, compass, thermometer). The Kaito's are only a little more in price than this Swiss Gear. They are worth the extra cost.

We bought a pair of these at WalMart on a whim since they were so darn cheap! We used them on the Appalachian Trail and on a hiking trip through the Swiss Alps. They work great and have held up fine under rather stressful conditions. While they're a bit heavier than the fancy name-brand poles, they're no less rugged and only a fraction the cost. What's not to like?

THIS TREK POLE IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED. IT COMES WITH TWO TIPS AND A COMPASS IN THE GRIP. VERY STRONG POLE FOR THE PRICE. THANKS SWISS GEAR FOR GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
