About this item
- Built to Last: Whether you're hiking on rugged terrain or snowshoeing on fresh powder, you need hiking gear that can keep up! Trailbuddy trekking poles are strong enough to withstand any weather condition.
- Lightweight: 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.
- Adjustable: Set to your desired height in seconds, from the 54" max height down to just 24.5" when fully collapsed. They even double as hiking poles for kids!
- Easy to Use: Our 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!
- Secure Hold: 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 our hiking pole tips keep the included accessories securely attached through deep snow or thick mud.

Product Description
TrailBuddy Trekking Poles offer the best combination of durable strength and lightweight portability in a complete set designed for the trekker's comfort and ease of use. Why use trekking poles? 1. Reduce impact of trekking or walking on knees, back, and hips 2. Increase speed, balance, and security 3. Get more traction and points of contact, crucial on muddy or steep terrains 4. Great walking aid if recovering from injury or have balance issues 5. Other uses: - Can deflect shrubbery or act as probe for puddles, quicksand, etc - Defense vs bears, other wildlife - Can double as tent poles Additional advantages of Aluminum 7075 While carbon fiber is lighter than aluminum, it does not perform very well under lateral pressure - common issues include snapping especially when it gets stuck on rocky terrain. Aluminum will not snap. It might bend under extreme pressure, but you can more likely bend it back and continue using it. Additional advantages of Lever Lock Aside from easy lengthening or shortening, poles with flip-locks can also be disassembled or reassembled easily. This is helpful if packing the trekking poles in a suitcase and shaving an inch or two off the assembled length is needed. With twist locks, it can be almost impossible to do this without breaking the poles. TrailBuddy stands behind the quality of our products. Product Specifications Shaft: Aircraft Grade Aluminum 7075 Handle: Cork and EVA Tip: Tungsten Carbide Carrying bag: Nylon Length: 24.5 inches (collapsed), 54 inches (fully extended)

One of the standout features of these poles is their lightweight yet sturdy construction. Made from 7075 aluminum, they offer the strength needed for challenging trails while being light enough to carry without fatigue. This makes a huge difference on longer hikes or when navigating tricky terrains.
The collapsibility of the poles is another huge plus. They easily adjust to my height and collapse down to a compact size, making them perfect for packing and transport. The mechanism for adjusting and locking the height is intuitive and secure, giving me confidence in their stability during use.
Comfort is paramount when trekking, and TrailBuddy has nailed it with their ergonomic cork grip. These grips conform to the shape of my hands, are non-slip, and remain comfortable even on long hikes. The addition of padded straps adds to the comfort, reducing strain on my wrists.
Another aspect I love about these poles is their versatility. They come with different tips and baskets that can be swapped out depending on the terrain, whether it's rocky paths, muddy trails, or snowy conditions. This adaptability enhances their usability across various hiking scenarios.
The poles also contribute to my overall hiking efficiency. They provide excellent support, reducing the impact on my knees and ankles, and help in maintaining a consistent rhythm while walking. This has allowed me to tackle more challenging hikes with increased confidence and less fatigue.
In summary, the TrailBuddy Trekking Poles are a fantastic investment for anyone who loves hiking or backpacking. They offer a great combination of durability, functionality, and comfort. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, these poles are an invaluable addition to your hiking gear. Highly recommended for enhancing your outdoor adventures!
So the poles first. We have the updated design with the threaded rubber feet instead of the push on version. Very nice to have that feature.
The poles come apart easily and back together while unlocked. With these poles to give it just that quick test. I set them leaned in with 6 feet 240lbs and these did not move at all. Which is great because I bought them for the wife who is accident prone.
The color the wife loves (berry pink). The accessories has things that my poles do not. First is the bag. That is great just to keep all the accessories and poles together.
The different tips, which we may get some use out of the mud ones but so far just normal rubber tips are good for the wife. Easy to adjust poles do come in handy for moving snakes off the paths.
And the cork handles I love more then mine. Plus Boomer on the logo is not a bad touch.
Not to mention a 3 year warranty for parts at the time of this review.
So if mine happen to get destroyed, lost, or dropped off lovers leap then these are going to be the replacements.
And the thing that is not an accessory is the clips that kept the poles together in the packaging. I liked those so much I came back here to see if I could get another set just those of those. You see I wanted to strap my poles more out of the way in the SUV while making them easy to get to. Those little clips are perfect for linking the poles together and strapping to the ceiling or side. And they just pop right off the poles when you need them.
So how did we get here. This is our forth round of poles. Our first round are just carved walking sticks that we have just for show of the trails we have been on. Not much use for actual hiking.
Then during one of our walks we ran into this older couple that was just tearing up the trail with hiking poles, while I am helping my wife over every stick and rock. So that is it, we are getting some poles.
So mine are cheaper (not by much) with no accessories, no bag, foam handle but has the flip locks. And I love them, but had I done more research I would have bought trailbuddy instead.
The wife then got our third set of poles. Research was done for purple poles. Seemed ok, so why not. This was a mistake. Those poles were those twist kind. You may have tried them...the kind that if you need to brace yourself slip back down to the smallest size while you continue your tumble. And that when you go to put them in your pack they lock in place that vice grips are going to be used to get them packed away. And then finally after dealing with all of that. The wife hands me a pole in two pieces and says it came apart. No problem, I can just slip the two pieces back to...geth...er....wait... I think I have it, well isn't that something. I am going to estimate of 30 minutes by the car trying to put two poles together. I am normally Mr. Fix it but man these poles humbled me. (I can not put to sticks together can you believe it). And when I did finally get it together it would not shrink so locked in a place too tall for the wife.
So I gave her mine to try and walked with her one pole that semi worked. With a vow that she is getting new poles and they will not be twist locks. So then she took a trip to see her sister in Arizona in which they walked all over the place. But good luck getting those twist locks in a suitcase. And I really did not want to part with mine, but they are going to stick out of her pack on a plane.
So she showed me these and finally I said sure....looks ok. But this time it was more then ok. They come apart easy and back together and are just as tight locking, but easy to adjust.
Worth every penny and we are now back to hiking again in north Georgia and Tennessee.
I cannot wait to try to get these past TSA when we go to key west to visit the other sister.
Final note - give Boomer a treat and a walk. He deserves it.

Top reviews from other countries
Also nice to have as a little protection. I am senior lady. I am fit but no Supergirl. The price was incredible when I bought them and really well made when compared with others far more expensive. The material in them is high end. They are very light but very strong.
I like the locking mechanism as the screw and pull are not as sturdy. These collapse with ease and extend and lock in place with no worry they will fold on itself.
These were so nice I got another set for my sister that also likes to speed walk.
