 Cheap and functional December 2, 2006

We bought a pair of these at WalMart on a whim since they were so darn cheap! We used them on the Appalachian Trail and on a hiking trip through the Swiss Alps. They work great and have held up fine under rather stressful conditions. While they're a bit heavier than the fancy name-brand poles, they're no less rugged and only a fraction the cost. What's not to like?

THIS TREK POLE IS JUST WHAT YOU NEED. IT COMES WITH TWO TIPS AND A COMPASS IN THE GRIP. VERY STRONG POLE FOR THE PRICE. THANKS SWISS GEAR FOR GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY.
Excellent for Bush Whacking November 3, 2006

My primary use for this was to give me something to help me stay upright during geocaching, and to have something for bushwhacking. If you are into Geocaching you will understand! [...]
After falling down the side of a hill and getting a bit scratched up, getting this Hiking Pole has worked very well to keep me balanced in weird places. Also, it's handy for moving branches out of the way (i.e. bushwhacking) when necessary!
Great value January 6, 2008

Yes, they may not be as durable as the expensive models, and are slightly heavier, but you get 90% of the functionality of the expensive brands at 20% of the price. After I got my first set, I immediately went online and ordered a half dozen more, just to have on hand when the first set breaks. Well, I'm still on the first set, and they've been on top of Half Dome, 10 days inside the Tahoe Wilderness, and hundreds of miles of local trails. I'm very impressed by the durability of a supposed "cheap" hiking pole.
Economical and reliable February 26, 2008

I bought two of these for $10 each a year ago just to give them a try. I did not have high expectations since they were so cheap, but they are still on the trail with me. Quite frankly, I assumed they would break or collapse or give out somehow, but such is not the case. I have used them in mud, rocks, and sand from the AT trails in N. Georgia to the sand in Central Florida and they just keep working. I have not had any problems with the tips coming out. I take two of them with me when I backpack and use them for tent poles at night. They do the job and if you leave one somewhere you're only out $10. Works for me.
