So easy to adjust and lock

You literally just twist the pole to lock it in place. Not a ring clamp - there's no little plastic ring to tighten with two fingers. You just grab the bottom pole -- the pole itself -- and twist clockwise to tighten. Piece of cake. It stays put and does not slip. Trekking poles are new to me, but to me they feel light, sturdy, and easy to use. I needed something simple, no fuss, and this is it.

Excellent!

First impressions: very sturdy, great locking mechanism. I love the design of the handle and the strap . Appears to be a very well thought out design. (and very pleasing to the eye) Considering the excellent design, the quality of construction and affordable price, these poles are a great bargain! I'm looking forward to getting out on the trail this year and putting some miles on them!

Unique. Light. Strong. Comfortable.

We're full-time cross-country hiking guides in Utah canyon country. We've used these poles for years, and we like them. Super light. Fast swing weight. Strong. And the replaceable tips are a big advantage over most poles. Yes, we've tried the best models from the most popular brands, and we believe the Andesite competes with them all. The new 2024 version of the Andesite is a slight improvement, with straps that are just a bit wider and a smidge more substantial, thus more comfortable than the minimal "skin" straps on previous versions. If you're disinclined to try a twist-lock pole, don't worry. These twist locks work as quickly and easily as clamps, plus they're less fussy as well as more reliable over the long haul. And the price? For all-carbon poles, the Andesites are unbeatable. Five stars.

Awesome!

This is my 2nd set of these. They are game changers in my ability to navigate the backcountry at 58 years old. The only reason I have bought a 2nd set is because I left the last set leaned up against my car at the trailhead and drove off. Hopefully someone else is getting good use of them. lol

Awesome

These trekking poles are awesome. Super lightweight. I'm a big guy (240 lbs.) and I've been using them for a while. They have yet to collapse under my weight while I'm hiking. They have saved me from many falls. The cork handles are the best. The only thing that I think could be improved is the tab that holds the wrist strap in place could have rounded edges as it sometimes jabs the webbing of your hand between the thumb and index finger.
