Ultra LightWeight, Sturdy
I can’t say enough good things about these hiking poles. They are ultralight yet incredibly sturdy, which made a huge difference on long, demanding trails. The cork grips absorbed sweat perfectly and stayed comfortable in my hands even after hours of heavy use. Assembly was a breeze—simple and quick, which is exactly what you want when you’re gearing up. I put them to the ultimate test last week in Banff, where I used them extremely heavily on tough terrain. They performed flawlessly and actually outshined my wife’s Leki poles, which I didn’t think was possible. These are hands down the best poles I’ve ever owned—reliable, comfortable, and built to last. Highly recommend!

Great hiking poles!
Purchasing the correct length is critical, which my wife and I both did. Lightweight and strong, these poles handled the Peaks of the Balkans trail with several rigorous side-hikes with no issue. Grips and straps are comfortable and strong. I’m 6’1” 230 lb and poles handled that load beautifully.

SO STURDY
I loved my poles!!! I had never used poles before and did a lot of research to find these. Perfect weight and stability to help me feel secure on my hikes through the Alps. I'm scared of heights and these really helped me overcome some of the fear, knowing that I had something to help brace me. The cork handles are key when it's rainy so there is no slippage.

Love em
My last set of BD poles snapped on a jagged rock and I had another trip this week. Got them in time and they were super light and very strong with the carbon. They look nice too! My one complaint would be with the z pole construction and the carbon they rattle and move a little bit unlike my last metal ones

Great quality!
Absolutely love these poles! They’re incredibly lightweight, fold down super small for easy packing, and feel sturdy. The grip is comfortable, and the setup is quick and intuitive.
