Tracks Lite Walking Staff - In Your Choice of Sizes Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned the Tracks Lite Walking Staff for over 15 years. I have arthritis in my hands, ankles and knees. The pole is extremely light weight - 10 ounces for the 48 inch length. I can carry it without fatigue for an extended hike. The walnut knob is smooth and perfect for resting my hand on the top of the pole while descending, so I don't have to maintain a painful grip on the pole. The aircraft aluminum has been more than strong enough for any amount of weight I've put on it and shows no fatigue. The wrist strap is comfortable and works well for either supporting my weight on my wrist, or letting the pole drag loosely behind me as I crawl around rocks or trees. With the 48 inch length I have been able to strap it to the side of my backpack without interfering with walking. I am 5'6" and the 48" length works well for either ascending or descending steep trails. Taller people may wish to consider the 52" staff.
I have had two minor issues. The foam grip is not closed cell, so it retains water during those wet Northwest Washington hikes. Also, after 15 years the foam has gotten a bit stiff. The rubber foot can come off in mud or when dragging the pole. I have lost two this way. The pole functions well without the rubber foot, but tears up the trail more and is more likely to skid on rock. Replacement feet and grip are available from Cascade Designs.

I don't find either of these problems to be more than slightly annoying. The pole itself is still the best I have used. I prefer the simplicity, lightness and stability over any adjustable pole I have tried.
