Lightweight, Collapsible Hiking Poles for Backpacking

TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability in a complete set designed for the trekker's comfort and ease of use. These hiking poles are crafted with strong aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, which is tougher than carbon fiber yet weighs almost 4oz less than your average trekking poles for hiking. Whether you're hiking on rugged terrain or the beaten path, you need gear that can keep up, and TrailBuddy trekking poles are built tough enough for the long haul.

The adjustable poles can be set to your desired height in seconds, from the 54" max height down to just 24.5" when fully collapsed, making them versatile enough to double as hiking poles for kids. The lever locks can be easily operated with just one hand, which is much easier than the 2-handed twist locks on other walking sticks for hiking.

The padded straps and moisture-wicking cork handles will mold to the shape of your hand for a secure and comfortable grip on each walking stick. The threaded pole tips keep the included accessories securely attached, even in snow or mud. TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of their products, with a focus on providing the best trekking experience possible.

But why use trekking poles in the first place? There are several key benefits:

1. Reduce impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips
2. Increase speed, balance, and security
3. Get more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains
4. Great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues
5. Other uses: can deflect shrubbery, act as a probe for puddles or quicksand, and even serve as a defense against bears or other wildlife

While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure, often leading to common issues like snapping, especially when it gets stuck on rocky terrain. Aluminum, on the other hand, will not snap. It might bend under extreme pressure, but you can more likely bend it back and continue using it.

Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily. This is helpful if packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length is needed. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles.

In summary, TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer the perfect combination of durability, lightweight portability, and user-friendly features to enhance your trekking experience. Whether you're hiking on rugged or well-worn paths, these poles are built to last and designed to provide the support, stability, and comfort you need to conquer any terrain.
