Trail Compact Trekking Pole - Pair by Black Diamond Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not only are these sized right for smaller adults, but they are also easy to adjust because of the flip-lock. Regarding size: why should a smaller person haul around excess bulk and weight that they will never need? These poles are lighter because they are sized for us smaller folk. Regarding the flip-lock: it is simple and can be adjusted to your own strength and/or ability with the simple twist of a screwdriver. This is a great feature for anyone with a little arthritis in their hands. This system can be adjusted with mittened or cold hands much easier than poles requiring grip and twist. I got these for my mother, who at the age of 89 still takes walks by herself. With her cane she was hunched over and lopsided and moved along rather slowly, with these poles (I added some Leiki rubber "fitness tips" for traction on the sidewalk - they are awesome!) she stands upright, walks faster, gets some upper-body exercise, and even gets to work on her coordination. In addition, she no longer experiences the knee pain that had plagued her on walks in recent times. With all these improvements she now takes walks more frequently than before she got her poles. I don't know why we don't see more cane-users moving to this kind of solution, it has improved the value and safety of my mother's walks many times over.
