"Back Relief"

Rating:****
I was a bit skeptical at using poles for hikes. I have a bad back and was real surprised at the relief the poles provide to the stress subjected. It took a bit getting used to, but once adjusted properly and in the groove, it was really a lot of fun. Further, the anti-shock feature of these specific poles absorbed much of the impact, minimizing the stress to my body. Would definitely recommend.

"If you want to go like the energizer bunny, these are for you!"

Rating:*****
First off I was skeptical about using trekking poles instead of my hiking stick, but after seeing how much it helped my friend on his hike I broke down and bought these. They are comfortable to hang on to, with the adjustable straps and breathable grips. The anti-shock feature of the poles really saves your arms and shoulders on longer hikes. Well worth what I spent on them!

Absorb the bumps

Rating:*****
These poles are great. Really make a difference when you've got a lot of weight on your back. The shock absorbers work very well. Very comfortable handles, although they can get a little slimy if your hands sweat a lot. They dry quickly, though.

Great product

Used these hiking in the Canadian Rockies, and they saved my back and knees. Comfortable wrist straps, handles. Highly recommend.
