Folding Collapsible 3K Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles

Love these poles! They work great and didn't break the bank. I've used them on several hikes do far and they are holding up well. I even took them with me on a trip to the top off Mount Whitney! They collapse quickly and store easily. I got one for my husband too.

I use these one at a time as a mobility/proprioceptive cane (in lieu of a white cane). I added on some white reflective tape. They're exactly the right balance of rugged and light. It took a fair bit of practice to be able to fold and unfold these quickly, but now that I've got the hang of it I think they're about perfect. While probably not designed for that, the area below the cork grip is a really nice place to loosely grip when I'm using it to sweep ahead for terrain changes, and the adjustable loop on the cork handle means I can snuggle up the top end on my forearm and use the cork handle to transfer some of the weight to my arm instead of my hand when I'm using it to sense instead of to support myself. A pair of Tom Bihn Handle Loops are great for securing a folded up pole to a bag that has attachment points since folded up they don't really work in an umbrella or water bottle pocket, and unfolded they're a bit long to manage in a confined bus or car seat. I was initially kind of cranky you can only buy these in pairs and I only use one at a time, but it turns out having a back up is pretty nice, especially when the end of one gets especially mucky out on a walk.

These are great poles. Light, strong, compact and perfect for the trail.

I got the wrong type of trekking poles. please help me exchange. I need light weight collapsible with pointed end.

They are very light but strong, well made.
