Coleman Trekking Pole (Multicolor)

This is a Pre-Use Review.Ordered on 1/11/2015. Delivered on 4/11/2015.I go on at least 2 treks per year. My Girlfriend joined me last year. She thought that her first trek would be her last and bought a cheap trekking pole online at Rs. 450. One of the locks broke on its 2nd trek this year in June while going up to Taktsang Monastery, Bhutan. So I ordered this one for her.Pros:Strong yet Light material. Seems to support my weight quite well (72 kg).The twist locks seem to be of good quality and are holding the segments tight.Comes with Anti-Shock spring mechanism which can be toggled on/off by a twisting method.The Cork handle is very comfortable to grip and doesn't slip even if your hands are sweaty.The metal tip seems descent.The rubber shoe also provides a spring like cushion effect and has wonderful grip on plain surface.The strap is padded.Cons:The rubber shoe moves around and may need to be straightened repeatedly while hiking.I prefer a pointed metal tip like my old Annapurna Trekking Pole (Bought from Darjeeling Fancy Market)The strap length adjustment system needed to be better.Cork handle may erode due to chipping away on prolonged use.Only one Basket which is ordinary. (Small one)No snow basket (wide one)Summary:I more or less liked this Pole and have immediately ordered a second one for myself which will serve as my secondary hiking pole on my next trek. I will publish a Post-use review after I return on my blog www.bangalibackpacker.blogspot.in along with a video review on youtube. Till then, Happy Hiking friends.

It's very hard to open middle saction and also it's not light weight.poor quality not happy with this productThere is best pole available in Quechua in prize of 600

I just used this on a 7 day winter trek, and was very happy with its performance. It's light, the grip is ergonomically great, and the build quality was pretty solid. The pole-end attachments proved to be very handy as we trekked through a variety of terrains. The higher price (as compared to other, cheaper poles on the market) was well justified.

I bought it specifically for my trek in the Himalayas. While it was quite useful for most part of the trip, one of the segments came loose within 3 days of use.

I did the Kashmir Great Lakes trek with this pole. Whether it’s slippery or boulders or normal climbing, this pole is versatile. The horse shoe rubber was most handy while walking on boulders. Would recommend this pole hands down to anyone

excellent feel

It is heavy than a lightweight bamboo stick.

Product arrive safely but there is no compass and 2 pole but the product description say there is compass and 2pole.

I have been using previous poles for some time but felt that I needed a better one as the older ones wore out. This Coleman was recommended by Amazon and it is well worth it. It is light, comfortable to use and helps me walk safer and quicker. Definitely a good buy!

I have had this a couple of months and the lock feature has worked well so far. Looks good too.

I ordered two of these poles. One was nicely wrapped up and a label and extra snow foot was attached. It was easy to telescope out to the right height. The other pole, I bought two, had been taken apart, snow foot was missing and it was completely put together totally wrong. It took us over half an hour to figure it out and get it right. Some one had it before me. Not happy.

Tuve una salida del senderismo 72h para ser exactos, tiene un bonito diseño, el mango de agarre es agradable al tacto y confiable, tiene un buen sistema de seguro para fijar el tamaño del bastón, color llamativo para no tener perdida de el, está complementado con un sistema de resortes para que los impactos sean amortiguados, la punta es de un material resistente, lo ocupé sobre piedras y este no se desgastó, en fin. Un buen producto, si me viera en la necesidad de comprar otro lo haría sin pensarlo👍🏻

I feel this item was sent back and then just shipped out again. I even had someone familiar with trekking poles try to put it together but "no joy". Since there are so many positive reviews and Coleman is a reputable name I think that if you are lucky enough to get one that has not had a previous owner that it may be okay.
