Collapsible Walking Stick Does the Job February 22, 2010
Lura A. Mcallister (Jefferson City, MO)
I found the previous reviews helpful in making this purchase so want to thank those reviewers. As stated in another review, this stick does not come with instructions, and it did take me a while to figure it all out, especially since it is my first walking stick. Re the light, I take the batteries out when I'm not using it as the light does tend to come on on its own occasionally. I hiked up Diamond Head crater and back with out losing the rubber tip; I think it's a matter of just making sure that it is put on firmly. For traveling, once collapsed and the light folded in, it fit perfectly in my carry-on suitcase that meets the airline maximum measurement requirements. I bought this stick for general hiking, and it has served its purpose well, so I think, for the price, it's a great buy.
Hiking Pole Comments February 17, 2010
Part Time Hiker
I am a mechanical engineer by profession, and found that the quality of the design for this hiking pole was far better than I imagined, especially for the price. The locking mechanism allows for a completely custom height, and is very sturdy. I also wanted a small storage size, and this pole fits very nicely into my 22 inch carry on bag, when placed diagonally in the bag. The overall quality and function is much more than expected and when the locking mechanism is used properly on each of the legs, it workd very nicely. Oh, the flashlight is a joke, but the housing is part of the handle and can be set in either a parallel position or 90 degrees to the handle and offers additional support when needed to the hand. Be sure to wear hiking gloves.

Great pole for the most part December 15, 2009
Deborah Roberts-Preston (Ocala, FL)
Great pole for the most part.. the tip keeps falling off. We had to use Gorilla glue on it to keep it on. My husband is disabled and uses it as a cane.
