 great for mountain hiking July 31, 2009

Used this pole for the first time while hiking fourteeners in Colorado and found it to be extremely helpful. The handle design lets you grip it two different ways. Hold it like a ski pole on steep climbs or like a cane when descending. It made climbing easier and provided an important balance point (and shock absorber!) when descending. Proved to be durable and useful on all surfaces (hard rock, loose rock, dirt, snow). Lightweight and easy to adjust length. Never used the little gadgets on the wrist strap.
The LED light turns on or off by twisting the light -- just make sure you have the battery in the right way. However, that might make the light a bit loose when turned off. To keep it secure during rough handling on day climbs, I just reversed the battery (to keep it from coming on) and then tightened the light all the way.
Not Your Average Walking Stick... June 8, 2009

I have been having trouble with lower back and some knee pain, especially when I have to be on my feet for a long period of time or out walking longer distances. The thought of buying a cane or a walking stick wasn't sitting all that well with me. I heard about this particular hiking pole on "No Agenda", the podcast featuring John C. Dvorak & Adam Curry. I was surprised at how reasonably priced it was and decided to give it a try. I have found that it has met and surpassed my expectations. It is completely adjustable, has a nice shock absorbing feature, and the built in flashlight, while a little bit geeky, has already come in handy on more than one occasion. If you are looking for a little extra help getting around that doesn't make you look old and out of it, this is definitely worth the price. And, while I haven't exactly been out hiking with it yet, the totally adjustable nature of this hiking pole makes it very easy to go from a walking stick to a full fledged hiking staff in just a few twists. This same feature also makes it easy to completely compact the staff for easy packing and traveling. I have two of these now, one that I keep in my car at all times, (in case I underestimate the amount of walking I am going to have to do on an outing), and one that I have at home for those "bad days". I highly recommend this to anyone who needs a walking stick/hiking pole. I hope that you will find it as useful and as helpful as I have.
Excellent hiking pole January 26, 2009

This is an excellent product - strong, light weight, comfortable to carry. Adjusts in length - fits in my medium size suitcase. The LED flashlight is wonderful. I did file off the point on the handle, and I am not sure the thermometer is correct, but the compass is really handy.
Very reasonable price.
Hiking Pole for 92 year old cross country skier! November 11, 2009
Grandma
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My 92 year old Dad is a cross country skier and avid walker. With 2 of these in hand, he is walking safely and using his arms too. He autumn walks are enhanced and when the snow falls, he will convert to snow poles. I wish the manufacturer had included directions for maximum usage of all features. I did stumble through the assembly but some advice on adjustment and using the various tips would help.
