Convenient & Comfortable
These trekking poles are a great all-around option. The FlickLock technology makes them easy to adjust and to collapse for easy transport. And the poles are well marked making it simple to extend them to the correct length when in use. The grips are a very comfortable size and shape and the lightweight poles are quite suitable for a hike/snow shoe excursion. Overall I think these are a great product. One thing to consider: the carbide tips that are included worked great on dirt and softer surfaces but are not well suited for pavement or boardwalk surfaces. I would suggest acquiring rubber tips for use in those conditions.
Great grip and sturdy support!
The clouds parted and we took the dog to one of our favorite local hiking spots that has some elevation gain and loss. Some of the trail is worn smooth which makes the poles very helpful for added stability. As a fan of orange in all its forms, the burnt orange was a perfected color for me. I love the simple design, flexibility to customize the length, and for me it was the grips that really made them more comfortable than ones I’ve used in the past. The smooth foam texture was pleasant for extended use. I can’t wait to use them while snowshoeing as well.
Multi-use Trekking Poles
These Trekking Poles are really useful and I am not used to using any. Really love the ease of being able to adjust to whatever length I may need. They are great for hiking and just walking around your neighborhood. They have snow baskets you can just add to the bottom of each pole. Well-made and easy to use, what more can you ask for. Great addition to my hiking and camping gear !
Great tool for the trails
I started using trekking poles for hikes a few years back as my knee started having issues with descents, and these have quickly taken the place of my previous pair of poles. The grips are more comfortable in my hands, and the two levels of adjustability are great for my height (I'm 5'9" and just tall enough to need the second set). Adjusting length was easy, and the poles are light in hand. I do wish these came with rubber tips, but they did come with snow baskets, so could be easily used snowshoeing as well.
Well-made poles, perfect for muddy hiking!
Have you ever used a product and thought, wow this is durable and well thought out? This is what I like about these poles. While I can definitely see regular and long-term use of these, they are heavier and not carry-on friendly. They are however, the perfect sturdy pair for the muddy switchbacks and up and down slopes of Oahu, Hawai’i! I have two other pairs that I regularly use for travel and local trail hiking each. This Black Diamond pair is not my first from the brand but definitely the most sleek and durable of the two. I like that the hand loops (vari-width comfort straps) are adjustable and that the pole tips I have from my other pole brand works perfectly as well. Possibly my favorite feature is the flicklock adjustment of the poles that extend or collapse them—fair warning though - use your thumb to secure the grey part with the sort of thumb print, so you don’t accidentally touch the tip end point - it’s hard plastic and quite sharp! Having received these last week, I was so excited to try them out in the wilderness and have managed a few muddy hikes. These poles clean up well with a good shower down and dry. A notable is that you’ll want to spend extra time detailing the adjustment and the straps and grip area since the trail bits really seem to stick. I can see why the more comfortable to the touch materials were chosen vs harder plastics or the lighter cork for example. Again, durability. I was happy that the poles extended and collapsed easily although it was helpful that I practiced using the flicklock ahead of time because I found myself adjusting on the trail to let another hiker use one of the poles for some challenging legs of our hike. Now that the poles are clean and have become a part of my rotating trail tools, I’ve packed them up for an end of summer over night camp trip to the North Shore. The slightly sad part is they don’t fit inside my pack but do secure nicely on the sides. Since we will be driving over, that shouldn’t be an issue, although I can imagine some might want to measure and plan for the extra length and weight. Overall, a solid product that I’m looking forward to using for many years and trails. Thanks Black Diamond!
Great Trekking Poles
I am a big fan of these trekking poles. They are sturdy (I am a plus sized hiker) without being heavy. Compared to other sets of trekking poles I have had in the past, I would definitely recommend these over other brands. One feature I really like is the design of the straps. Even with the strap around your wrist, it is still easy to use your hands to stop on your hike and grab your camera to take photos, grab a snack, or access something out of your bag without taking them on and off.
Stellar Trekking Poles
I used my new trekking poles for the first time last weekend and found them to be light, solid and well made. First thing, they were very simple to set up. I was able to set the height without using any instruction's, setting them up was very intuitive. I felt very stable on rough terrain and didn’t fell any slipping while moving quickly through varying terrain. Overall I was very happy with the product. They look great too!
fantastic poles overall and for travel
These are by far the best trekking poles I have ever used. They are strong yet light weight. Perfect for collapsing and putting into a suitcase. The clasps at the adjustment points are superior. That is where all the other poles I tried fell short. They would we go loose overtime and one even collapsed on me. I would not hesitate to recommend these trekking poles to anyone. I personally am an older lady and I use them in suburban settings as well as hiking on rocky trails in parks. For anyone planning to use these as you walk on pavement and gravel, etc. I recommend ordering the rubber tips.
Great, versatile poles
Both my wife and I have a pair of these and they have served us well for Nordic walking (get the blunt tips), snowshoeing, walking slippery roads in winter, and cross-country skiing. Quite easy to adjust length to suit the activity, but I did find I needed to tighten a couple of the snap clamps a bit to prevent slippage. Personally, I can't see the point of the extra expense of fiber poles as these are light enough that I don't even notice the weight.
Black diamond Trail Back Trekking Poles
Nice, lightweight adjustable walking stick. Hand strap is comfortable and easy to adjust. I'm a fan of orange, so the color was nice as well. Comes with snow pads as well. The locking mechanism for the adjustments could be a little more study, there was some slippage in the locking. I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review.
