Excellent poles at a good price. I have used them on 14ers out West, including Rainier, and on hikes in the East. Get the rubber bottoms if you plan on hiking dry ground or rocks.

Add the four-wheelor should we say four-appendagedrive to your hike with the Komperdell Contour Titanal Trekking Poles. These lightweight, telescoping hiking poles maximize your stability and efficiency on the trail without adding much extra weight. Made from a high-grade aluminum alloy, they resist corrosion and stand up to years of wear. The Duolock height adjustment mechanism locks the three sections together to form one rigid unit. The poles' EVA grips form-fit to your hand and absorb moisture for comfort and safety on warm-weather hikes; they also feature an extended area for when you need a grip lower on the pole. Padded neoprene wrist straps add further comfort and support.Product Features

Crescent Moon Trekking Poles Review

Crescent Moon Trekking Poles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These poles arrived very quickly and were as advertised. I have used trek poles for years in doing archaeology in the Flint Hills and I wanted poles to use for urban walks on concrete and asphalt. I got these poles because they were advertised as "shock absorbing". Maybe I should have done a little more research. Shock absorbing can barely be felt with the poles, which I have not tried out in the field yet. So the 3 star rating is less the capability of the poles as the description being less than I felt would have told me that when we talk about absorbing shock, we are talking about a "give" of 1.0 to 1.5 cm. These poles are a little heavier than my old ones so I'm not sure what my arms will feel like after a day in the field with them. I am sure they will give me the same service in the Flint Hills of Kansas and Oklahoma that my old ones have done. For anyone who has not used trekking poles before, be sure and do your homework.

Add a feeling of security as you tackle the trail with the Crescent Moon SS/Trekking Pole, an all-season pole that can be used for hiking, snowshoeing, or just walking in the park. A pole provides better balance, more efficient climbing, and increased endurance. Ideal for anyone between 4 foot, 6 inches and 6 foot, 4 inches, this three-section pole can adjust from 65cm (25.6 inches) to 140cm (55.1 inches). Made with 6061 T-6 Aircraft grade aluminum tubing, it has an adjustable shock system (stainless steel internal spring) for hard or soft surfaces, which can be turned off with a simple twist of the pole's upper section. It comes with two sets of baskets (one for summer, one for winter) and a carbide tungsten tip with a rubber cover.

Hammers HP5 Anti-Shock Hiking Pole with Compass & Thermometer Review

Hammers HP5 Anti-Shock Hiking Pole with Compass and Thermometer

I have used several hiking poles over the years and I like this one the best. It is sturdy and held up well climbing up rock walls at Havasupai Falls. I only wish it would telescope to a smaller size as it is hard to fit in my small luggage when I am traveling light.

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.
