Features
Let the pole take the strain.
The
Hi Gear Strider Trekking pole, like all walking poles, is designed to help ease the strain on your spine and legs as you walk. They are sold singly.
Used on their own or in pairs, walking with a trekking pole will take pressure off your legs and help you to balance, making your trek an easier, safer and more rewarding experience.
The Hi Gear Strider pole uses an Anti-Shock system, which absorbs the impact when your pole touches the floor to prevent vibration strain on your arms. It's extendable to suit your height, and it collapses to a small size so it's easy to carry and store when not in use.
Made from lightweight aluminium, with an adjustable webbing/neoprene comfort strap, a contour-grip cork handle, and a tough tungsten carbide tip.

So far so good, 09 October 2011

My first walking pole purchase and all appears positive. Coped well with a steep muddy descent. One initial episode of the locking mechanism slipping. This was tightened and no mishaps. Wee priced product.

I decided to buy a walking pole to ease the strain on my back when walking. I wanted a pole that would suit the purpose of my nature trail and woodland path walks. I bought my Strider taking into consideration the cost and build and so far I have been pleased. I realise that more serious hikers might benefit from spending more but for my use it suits me just fine.

Its cheap and unfortunately this reflects in the product. The lower sleeve slips in the upper even when locked off with use so I have to constantly adjust it to get equal lengths which is annoying. The other thing I found is how easily the end picks are to snapping off. Both mine did without too much use and this resulted in being not much use in the snow and ice. I suspect the quality build and source materials are cheap and this is why it is cheap.
You might be ok with these walking in fields or around a lake, but if your in the mountains might be better ti spend more and get a better product.
