Trekology Trek-Z Collapsible Hiking & Trekking Poles – Balance Support for Seniors, Women, and Men, 2pc Per Set

Totally pleased
I’m 5’ 4”, 125 lbs – bought the smaller size, and they are just right. I only had to extend poles a little, for perfect length. I used these for some pretty tough hiking – rocky terrain, sand, uphill and down – along the coast in northern Spain. The poles worked great, sturdy and no slipping, comfortable grip with adjustable strap (took me a few minutes to figure out how to get the strap to release to loosen). In addition, assembling them and taking them apart is quick and easy, and they fold to a compact length, fit easily in my suitcase. Was surprised by how truly nice they are.

Very decent poles, but grips are EVA, not cork
These are very decent folding trekking poles for a reasonable price as far as I can tell – but many people don’t appear to read or understand the instructions well (watching YT video helps) and leave negative reviews, which I think is not always deserved.The pole has a total of 5 sections: main fixed part (with grips), 2nd extendible part that slides into the main part (for adjustable length), held in place with a squeeze clip, and 3 fixed folding sections of which the upper section slides into the extendible part above. These need to be unfolded and extended to their maximum length and locked in place (at fixed length) with a click button. A cable runs through the 4 sections that as a whole can be removed from the main section. If you don’t set this up right, sections may seem loose or broken, but that happens if something is really broken inside. I think this risk is similar for other folding poles that I have been comparing, and there might also be issues with the button that some complain collapses inside the pole.The quality of all parts can vary between various brands, but these Trekology poles seem pretty good to me and I like the color blue. Unfortunately I need to return them, because the grip is EVA foam, made to look like cork, and not real cork (which is what I want). The loops are thinner and more flexible than other poles so they are softer but it is harder to get your hands through them. The cable through the poles is thicker than in other poles. I would have kept these poles if it weren’t for the EVA grips.

Held up to a Week of Hiking in the Dolomites
One never knows how a product purchased on the web will perform. I purchased this model because I wanted something strong and lightweight with a shorter length. I also wanted it to fit in my luggage. I tested the poles locally on relatively flat terrain and they seemed fine. But the real test was whether the poles could support my weight on steep rocky terrain. The verdict – the poles held up to the terrain and also held up to snow and mud at the higher elevations. The grip was comfortable and the straps were just ok. The plastic at the end of the strap is a bit too bulky and often got pinched. against the grip. But given the value, flexibility, portability and foldability, the strap was a minor nuisance.
