Product Highlights

Mountainsmith Pyrite 7075 Trekking Poles are loaded with features. Made of lightweight 7075 aluminum, these poles are rugged enough for extreme expeditions, yet versatile enough for everyday use.

The carbide tips provide exceptional traction on ice and rock, and removable rubber boots are provided for off-trail use. The narrow profile trekking baskets can be removed quickly without tools.

    Likes: Lightweight and constructed well. Good value, looking forward to next weekend to try it out.

    Dislikes: Not applicable

  • Joseph P. – Midland MI

    Likes: I have never owned high priced trekking poles and with poles like these, I probably never will! These poles adjust easily and securely. The shock absorbing is sufficient. They are sturdy and have a comfortable grip. They have helped me through miles and miles of varying terrain. They have performed very well and I am happy with this buy.

    Dislikes: The only uncomfortable feature of these poles is the straps on the handles. Not a big deal though. This was the only thing I didn't like about the product.

    Likes: Lightweight and excellent price. Nice entry level poles--well reviewed by Backpacker Magazine

    Dislikes: no complaints

    Likes: I bought this for my dad so that we could go hiking together. It was our first time using the trekking poles. the poles were hard to adjust. One pole we couldn't get it to extend ...i believe it was broken. We didn't test it out before the hike, and it was last minute so we went hiking with one pole.

    Dislikes: Hard to adjust.

    Likes: These are very nice trekking poles. They are pretty basic but very practical. I love this product.

    Dislikes: nothing.

    Likes: Easy to use/adjust. My son started snowshoeing with us and I quickly adjusted them for his height, because my non adjustable xc-ski poles were too tall for him.
    Great price, Mountainsmith guarantee speaks for itself. I buy a lot of Mountainsmith products and will continue to do so.

    Dislikes: There was nothing I didn't like about these poles.

    Likes: Length adjustment worked well.

    Dislikes: The wrist straps are a little ackward but once you get used to them they are ok.

Zoomify would go here, or a larger image... This is a temporary placeholder... The settup of this may change depending on whether we are in fact using Zoomify.

Rotate SWF would go here... Greg will reconfigure this after we have an actual example. This is just a place holder.
