Likes: I have now been able to use them several times and am really happy with the product! I wanted some walking poles but didn't want to spend so much money. These are a great solution! On longer hikes I did get a blister on one hand, but that was a steep hike. Like that they have a little spring action in them. Really great when you want to get your arms more involved, and save your knees. I would recommend these to any amateur backpacker like me who likes to hike around.

Dislikes: The rubber caps that are on the tips of the poles seem to come off easily, I probably should have been using the metal tips anyway for that type of hike. Almost lost one, but don't really need them for my usage.

Likes: After one use they seem like a solid pair of trekking poles. Like the wrist strap and the light weight.

Dislikes: Haven't used in warm weather but a bit worried about the plastic grips being a bit slick when perspiration gets on my hands.

Likes: Good entry level poles. A little heavier than other products on the market, but that isn't a big deal for me.

Good value.

Dislikes: For the price, it is hard to say anything negative.

Likes: all in all these polls aren't bad. they do what they are supposed to. they help keep your balance on steep trails and take some of the stress off your knees which is why i bought them. the price is good too. i just couldn't bring myself to pay 70+ dollars for a glorified stick.

Dislikes: the plastic handles do get a bit slippery when you start to sweet. i also noticed that if your not careful you can get pinched by the wrist strap and the cut out where the strap is anchored but as long as your careful this isn't a big deal. once or twice i also had the pole collapse on me but i think i just needed to screw them down a little tighter then they seemed fine. so there not bad but there not the best eather but you get what you pay for.
