Product Description

Product Description

HP5 is a perfect companion for your weekend hiking trips. It has a comfortable cork handle with nylon strap and a small EVA grip for use when the stick is folded. The telescopic stick is made of 3 strong aluminum alloy sections and can be adjusted to a desired height between 55" and 27 1/2". It also has spring-loaded antishock mechanism inside which can be turned on/off with a twist between the two sections. Functional graphic on the stick includes a US/Metric Ruler. At the bottom end of the stick, there is a carbide tip hiden inside the rubber endcap. It is very helpful when walking on rocky hard surface. A snow disc is included for use on loose top soil or muddy road. Other convenient accessories include a liquid filled mini compass and a thermometer. Both could be worn on watch band if prefered.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Buy for the Money, October 11, 2007
By Mary Ann Spencer (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have used several hiking poles over the years and I like this one the best. It is sturdy and held up well climbing up rock walls at Havasupai Falls. I only wish it would telescope to a smaller size as it is hard to fit in my small luggage when I am traveling light.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value, October 2, 2008
By Steven C. Willson (El Paso, Texas) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this to provide a substitute for a traditional cane to support my bad back after disc replacement - canes are much too short to help when going downhill or down stairs and I wanted something I could keep in the car or throw in a suitcase.

Pros: Sturdy, tall enough even for me (6' 3"), comfortable to carry; wrist strap wide enough to be comfortable and provide support; anti-shock device definitely helps on concrete. Thermometer and compass are toylike but better than nothing in an emergency.

Cons: Lock mechanism difficult to work (I'd hate to try it with wet or gloved hands or if I had arthritis); non-replaceable tips will limit useful life of pole. Poorly packaged and arrived with minor cosmetic damage.

Summary: Well worth what I paid for it ($26), but my next hiking pole will probably be a Black Diamond or Leki because they feature better locking mechanisms.

After Action Evaluation: I used it in the central New Mexico mountains to walk along trails and in and out of streambeds. It was comfortable to carry and more than sturdy enough to support my 240 pounds. I'd buy it again without hesitation; anything better is probably going to be much more expensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars My old warhorse, July 28, 2008
I've had this pole for 3 years, and it has been my constant companion on every hike. The cork handle and light weight combine to make it a part of your hand that you don't ever have to think about, until you need it. I've used this pole to see me up steep rock faces, slick wet rocks, and rock-hard ice with never a buckle or slip. It has seen me down boulders that would have surely led to mangled ankles were it not for the assist. It rides in my car with me constantly; for if I were to need it, I would feel naked if it weren't there. Best Amazon purchase I've ever made.
