 Served its purpose! March 15, 2010
J. Koenig
I wanted a hiking pole to help me climb a mountain since I have two bad knees (ACL injuries). I also needed a pole that was able to fit into a suitcase. This pole did fit into my suitcase, at an angle, after I took off the rubber foot. Perfect! On my way up and down the mountain, this pole DEFINITELY served its purpose. I cannot compare it to other poles, since this is the only one I have ever used. I also cannot discuss its durability since I only used it on one hiking trip. However, I plan on using this pole (and getting another one) for stability on future trips.
 Very disappointed! February 5, 2010
D Redding (Live Oak, FL)
I ordered two of these and neither one would lock into place when extended. They both have to go back. It really bothers me that we were sent defective items and now have to pay for shipping to return them. We are not avid hikers so we didn't really want to pay almost $100 for a pole, but we may have to to get one that holds up. This would be very dangerous to rely on in hilly country.
 It's Functional, But Not a Leki February 3, 2010
Nikon Fan (Kailua, HI USA)
This is a copy of a Leki. I didn't try, but I'd guess that the parts are interchangeable. Not that you'd want to, it's not as robust.
If you're a twice a year hiker, or petite, this is probably a good buy. If you hike a lot and use/abuse your poles, stay with Leki.
Two Better Than One December 13, 2009
Herman Michaels (Oklahoma)
This walking stick has proven so valuable to me on my daily hikes over the past year that I just bought a second one. Besides being used as a crutch in difficult terrain, it also gets used to deflect spider webs, and even the occasional dog pack and snake. I am 6'4" and over 200 pounds, yet this pole has never failed me. As a monopod it has allowed me to capture decent photos of distant wildlife with a high-zoom point-and-shoot camera that would be worthless otherwise. I am now so fond of it that I keep one in each of my two vehicles.
Great Value November 9, 2009
L Sabo (Lake Tahoe, USA)
I bought this mainly as a monopod to carry on hikes for my full size camera. First thing I wanted is something that is tall enough that I wouldn't have to bend over while using it. I've used this on about 10 hikes now ranging from 12-20 miles per hike so I've used it over 150 miles already and it is holding up flawlessly. It is feature packed with a shock aborbing internal spring, camera mount, foam hand grip, carbide and rubber tip, a snow basket and a strap with a compass and thermometer that actually work quite well. For $25 I can't believe how good it is, yes for $100 you can get a better one but I can break any of them so with this one I can afford to just buy another one. Just be careful with it and it will last a long time. I'm not sure I'd be any happier with another pole since this one works so good for a monopod...
