J. QuinnJ. Quinn: These poles are great for overseas travel as they are light-weight and fit in nicely in my backpack or suitcase. That's me in Italy. I had a problem with one of the poles and High Stream Gear promptly replaced it. I'd buy them again.

Sandi SmithSandi Smith: These poles were perfect for a trip to Italy where we hiked Mt. Vesuvius and The Path of the Gods. They were light weight but very sturdy, easy to assemble and disassemble, and best of all fit neatly in my carry on back so I did not have to check luggage. I liked the comfortable hand grips and the easy height adjustment.

Allison Young: These were a last minute purchase for a hiking trip to Zion. Wow am I glad they arrived in time to take along. These were a total life saver for rocky terrain and steep grades. I’m certain many skinned knees were prevented. I really appreciated how they collapsed and adjusted easily. They are a little heavy but feel like a great quality.

phyl: I've been using these collapsible sticks for about a year. Love them. Bring them when we travel. People stop me & ask where I got them. Had a bit of a problem with tips at first. For some reason the speed walking tip spins when I use it. Did discuss with the company. Then I lost one of the standard tips. Called the company again & they sent a new set. Great hiking poles! Excellent company to deal with. Highly recommended.

Ariane: Das Produkt ist wirklich sein Geld wert. Ich hatte vorher andere Wanderstöcke zum zusammen schieven und das Klappsystem erleichtert vieles. Sie liegen gut in der Hand, sind schön leicht, aber auch stabil. Was aber richtig nervig war, war die Kaufabwicklung. Ich habe 2 mal die falsche Größe zugeschickt bekommem, konnte sie nicht eibfach umtauschen, sondern muaste immer zurückschicken und neu kazfen. Dann bei der 3.Bestellung habe ich eine andere Farbe(rosa) gewählt, wo es angeblich nur meine Größe geben sollte und bekam diesmal zwar die richtige Größe aber wieder eine ganz andere Farbe (Sand). Aber da die Stöcke wirklich eine tolle Qualität haben, behalte ich diese jetzt trotzem.

DC: The product is exactly what I wanted, small and light enough to pack in luggage, and a quality pole once assembled. Assembly is easy, I was send a video explanation before the poles arrived and the enclosed instructions are easy to follow as well. Length adjustment is simple and secure.
Handles are smooth (I've had poles with rough bits where the cork meets the top, but not here) and the straps are comfortable and easy to adjust.

Be careful to order the correct length for your height. The description is accurate and if I'd ordered the men's pole that comes up first in searching Amazon it would have been too long for my liking.

volterr: From the start, I recommend these poles, but ...

When I bought these poles they seemed like a perfect match for me.
+ They are lightweight (I bought a carbon fiber later and could barely see the difference in weight)
+ Compact (can easily fit in any luggage when you're travelling, which is not the case for classical collapsible poles)
+ Extremely easy to unfold and adjust
+ Have a holster, which is very useful if you go without backpack that have side pockets. I usually leave them at home though to save on weight

But after just the first short hike I saw a problems:
- Rubber tips are rubbish. First they wear down extremely fast. Second the first one I had didn't have a metal washer inside which allowed sharp tip of the pole to just poke though the rubber.
Support later send me the replacement tips and they did have washers inside but they still wear down very quickly.
Support said that they are meant to be used on smooth surface like asphalt, but I need them on the rocky trails in the mountains.
My advice: buy replacement tips from reputable brand (it'll cost you about $4 in REI)

On my next bigger trip it gone worse. The rope that...

Aman: This review is for The High Stream set of trekking poles. I’m going to compare them to a set of Nianyiso trekking poles I bought on the same day. Both pairs of poles: Fold down nicely, have molded grips, are made of light weight aluminum, have adjustable heights and wrist straps. Both brands come in under 11 ounces for each pole, so there’s no significant weight difference unless you add the holsters, then the Nianyiso poles come in lighter. The Nianyiso poles cost me $36.99 and the High Stream poles $44.99. (I was not paid or given anything to review these I had to buy them!!) I’m going to focus on the differences between the two brands. The High Stream poles have cork grips as opposed to EVA foam grips on the Nianyiso poles. Both grips are molded and are quite comfortable although there is a slight edge to the feel of the cork grips on the High Stream. The High Stream poles also have a secondary grip just below the main grip which is wonderful for ascending hikes. The High Stream poles extend and lock by pulling the upper extension out and a small lock button pops out to lock. No need to line anything up. The Nianyiso poles lock by pulling out the top section and twisting...
