YOVITAL Collapsible Trekking & Hiking Poles - Perfect for Outdoor Adventures!

LathropLathrop: I bought these specifically because they claim to fold down to 11”. Unless I have a defective yardstick, this seems to be 13” at the shortest, maybe a little longer. Very disappointed. There are much better constructed ones around this price point that are 13”-14” and honest about length.

Holly GrahamHolly Graham: I've had these trekking poles for about 5 weeks now, they were great until now.
When I go to close the pole up, I can't get the top part of the pole under the silver tab to go back up into the handle part of the pole. It's stuck and now it won't fold small and it's actually difficult to fold.
I am visually disabled and I use these poles 2 days a week at the gym to help me with my balance when I'm doing lunges. I don't even use them for hiking.
Now the 2nd pole is acting up! There is no customer service and no warranty!

BlackFriarInSC: I chose these because they fold up so small. My wife used one to hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back, and she reported that it did an excellent job: sturdy and comfortable the whole way. She worried that the handle might make her hand sweat or even cause a blister, but that wasn't an issue at all. I am a big guy, and I found that I needed to tighten the length adjustment lock tightly or the length would slip when i put a lot of weight on it. But the tightening mechanism was easily adjusted, and it served my 250 pounds very well. Very pleased with the purchase.

David C: First, I was a little worried I received a "faulty" pair like some reviewers think they had. But you just have to pull the staff out really hard to have the lock button to pop out... which makes the pole sections pull together very tight. They don't wobble and seem sturdy for being so lightweight.
Haven't used them for a real hike and would still use my better ones for my local wilderness hikes. But these are specifically for traveling when I need light poles that fold down small... these were the smallest I found... so I can always have them handy in my daypack for impromptu explorations .. . I would rather have cork grips and especially padded wrist straps instead of the thin nylon, but pleased with meeting my specific needs.
I am 5'7" , my partner is 6' and these are also one of the few options in folding poles that accommodate both of us.

James in Los Angeles: I just finished the John Muir Trail backpacking trip (211 + miles) and these trekking poles worked flawlessly. In reading some of the negative reviews, I am sure that some customers are not familiar with how these trekking poles work.

** READ THIS ** These trekking poles collapse and fold up unlike many other trekking poles. In order to assemble the trekking pole, you need to extend the pole to lock in place. There is a section of the pole connected to the handle that has a locking mechanism that engages when the pole is extended. The mechanism collapses by pressing the button down. The second important part of the trekking pole is that the pole adjusts from around 115 cm to 135 cm with a "snap" fitting. The tightness of this fitting can be adjusted by tightening the plastic nut on one side. If there is any slippage after adjusting the pole, it's likely because the nut is not sufficiently tight. Tighten the nut, and try again. One of the reasons I used this particular trekking pole on my hike is that even if the snap fitting failed catastrophically for some reason, the height of the trekking pole will be at around 115 cm.
