Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Not sure if you'll like trekking/hiking poles? Want an inexpensive starter pole to see if you do? You could do a lot worse than this one.
It's not as light as the more expensive ones, nor as obviously sturdy, but it gets the job done and in maybe a dozen or more day-hikes, we've had no problems with breakage or the joints slipping or anything like that. And c'mon -- as I write this, it's retailing for $16.99 here on Amazon, and so we're not talking a huge investment. If it does break or fail, you're not out a lot of money.
We bought this trekking pole for just that reason, because we weren't sure if we'd like it, and it's not easy to return used hiking gear for full refund. Both my spouse and I liked it well enough that we decided to add a matched set of Mountainsmiths to our collection (those retail for round $50). Now we mostly use them, but sometimes she needs two trekking poles, so that's when I fall back on this Hikker -- which still gets the job done.

The Hikker HP5 is a perfect companion for your weekend hiking trips. It has a comfortable cork handle with nylon strap and a small EVA grip for use when the stick is folded. The telescopic stick is made of 3 strong aluminum alloy sections and can be adjusted to a desired height between 55" and 27 1/2". It also has spring-loaded antishock mechanism inside which can be turned on/off with a twist between the two sections. Functional graphic on the stick includes a US/Metric Ruler. At the bottom end of the stick, there is a carbide tip hiden inside the rubber endcap. It is very helpful when walking on rocky hard surface. A snow disc is included for use on loose top soil or muddy road. Other convenient accessories include a liquid filled mini compass and a thermometer. Both could be worn on watch band if prefered.
