Lightweight Collapsible Hiking Poles for Backpacking

TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer a complete set designed for the trekker's comfort and ease of use, providing the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability. Why use trekking poles? They can 1) reduce the impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips, 2) increase speed, balance, and security, 3) provide more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains, and 4) serve as a great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues. Trekking poles can also 5) deflect shrubbery, act as a probe for puddles and quicksand, and even provide defense against bears and other wildlife. Additionally, they can double as tent poles.

While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure, often resulting in snapping, especially when 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. This makes Aluminum 7075, the material used in TrailBuddy Trekking Poles, a superior choice.

Another advantage of TrailBuddy Trekking Poles is their Lever Lock design. Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily, which is helpful when packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles.

TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of our products. The shaft is made of Aircraft Grade Aluminum 7075, the handles are crafted with Cork and EVA, and the tips are Tungsten Carbide. The poles come with a Nylon carrying bag and have a length range of 24.5 inches (collapsed) to 54 inches (fully extended).

Whether you're hiking on rugged terrain or snowshoeing on fresh powder, TrailBuddy Trekking Poles are built to last. These hiking poles are crafted with strong aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum, tougher than carbon fiber yet weighing almost 4oz less than your average trekking poles for hiking.

The adjustable design allows you to set the poles to your desired height in seconds, from the 54" max height down to just 24.5" when fully collapsed, making them suitable for both adults and 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 foot covers on the hiking pole tips keep the included accessories securely attached through deep snow or thick mud, ensuring a stable and reliable performance in any terrain.
