Well made. Easy to assemble with well written instruction.
First time ever using hiking poles. They were light in my pack, and easily adjusted to whomever needed to use it. Also durable as kids sometimes used it as a javelin pole.
I just purchased these a couple weeks ago and used them to climb up Enchanted Rock at our Texas state park. These are sturdy. When descending, I was able to put them on the rock in front of me to support most of my weight due to my sometimes bad kneee. I even had my heavier friend use them and she could do the same.
I bought these because I was going on a trip via airplane and wanted poles that fit inside a carry on. These fit with room to spare. I used them every day for a week and they were great. Sturdy, easy to put together and take apart. I had no problems with them and was impressed with the quality.
