Pressure tested on 5 different hikes, over 45 miles, result - outstanding product! Bit tighten the locking screws....
August 23, 2016
So ok, I'm getting older now, over 60, but still crank out at least 120 miles per year in the Cascades, Rockies and Olympic Mountains. That said, I'm not a fan of level hikes, it's up and down for me, consequentially I hate excess weight and have no patience for useless products. I also bike and swim a good deal of distance weekly, and cross country in the winter, so I'm pretty fit. So when my MD's recommended that I start using poles to lessen knee and back issues, I was pretty skeptical. Thus I researched the poles available for quite a long time before I got down to a couple choices to try out. Considering the variability of pricing and composition of the poles, this turned out to be an exercise in patience! So My wife and I decided that We'd start by testing 2 pair of these quality - yet lower priced poles and the upshot was that we liked them so much I didn't ever get to my other choice.They work and work well if used properly. And I mean used properly, not abused, These poles took all the stress we gave them without an issue. In addition they are light and adjust length for up/down hill. That said, the sections will slide if they aren't properly tightened and locked down. It took me a couple miles of pressure testing the locks until I got the tightening mechanism correctly screwed down. After that all has been well. (btw, be sure to properly do your maintenance - I.e. wipe down the poles and locking mechanism after every use and inspect for issues.)IMHO these poles rate 5 stars due to, ability to withstand rugged conditions, ability to adjust on the fly, cost, quality and ability to use on snow, trail, sidewalk trekking. I'm sure you could pay more for for other poles, but unless you are into extreme hiking, why would you?
... these for 6 months now and these are much better than I expected
August 14, 2016
I've had these for 6 months now and these are much better than I expected. Used them on a long, wet and rocky hike for their maiden voyage. My daughter got tired so I put her on my shoulders and used the trekking poles to steady my foot steps. The clamps are very strong and did not slip at all. I am a fairly large man, 6'4" and 260 lbs. they are more than adequate to support me and whatever else I may be carrying, including a 40 lb toddler. I will be buying another set for next summers adventures for my wife. Highly recommend!
Great for an evening stroll and a weekend of hiking
June 15, 2016
Really impressed with these. Multipurpose uses. Around the house for those who have a hard time getting up or walking. Great for an evening stroll and a weekend of hiking. Heavy duty made. Adjustable to to fit the size you want comfortably. Has a belt type loop if to wrap around your wrist and or hand. Comes with a storing bag and fit easy in a corner or closet with no problems.*Received for an honest and unbiased review*
Great poles for a great price
May 26, 2016
Very great value in these trekking poles. Usually you have to pay a lot more to get lightweight, durable poles like these. I weighed them at 7.3 oz each including the lanyard and spike cover.I've used these on dirt and snow for hiking/mountaineering and they have fared very well. I haven't used them on pavement. The "spike" at the bottom grips very well and provides a lot of traction.The grip is really nice and comfortable. I like the extended grip so you can grab it at a lower position when you're going up a steep incline. The poles feel very sturdy and don't wobble or bend much at all even with my 200# weight pressing down on them. Make sure you appropriately tighten the screw before you clamp the height adjustment in place. It should feel like you're almost pressing too hard to clamp it. Otherwise the pole will shorten as you press down on it. The pole has length markings to help you get both poles at the right length, which is very useful.My one issue was with the baskets. They are kind of cheap plastic things and get threaded on. This may be my own fault but I didn't sufficiently tighten one while using it in snow and over the course of the hike it loosened and fell off. I have to buy a new basket now. Luckily I noticed and was able to tighten the remaining one before I lost it as well. Not enough of an issue to warrant docking a star, just make sure you really tighten the baskets!I don't really use the lanyard/leash so I won't comment much on that but it seemed comfortable. It did seem a bit hard to adjust the size. Again, don't take my opinion on that.

October 29, 2015
My wife and I used these poles (a pair each) during a recent rim-to-rim hike across the Grand Canyon. They performed quite well and were easy to adjust size-wise when going from the downhill to flat to uphill portions of the trails. They felt very light in hand and the grips were long enough to be comfortable for both my 5'2'' tall wife's smaller hands and my larger hands (I'm 6'). The poles were durable enough that I had no issues heavily leaning on them to push myself up some of the most steep inclines we went up after my legs were shot. The pole held up quite well and are showing next to no signs of wear. I cannot imagine having attempted the trek without these poles.
I love these!
October 12, 2015
I needed to purchase walking sticks because of arthritis in my knees and hips, and my rheumatologist told me I needed to use them. I was worried that my hands (which are also arthritic) would hurt when I use them, but that turned out to not be the case. The handles help to distribute the weight on your hands, and it turns out they are very comfortable. I have used these several times--including on some pretty difficult trails with boulders and difficult maneuvering. I actually resisted buying these because I didn't want to appear to need assistance. But now I won't walk/hike without them. They not only take some of the pressure off my knees and hips, but they also provide excellent balance if I place them correctly. Adjusting these is very easy, and I have to do that quite often when I'm on trails that meander up and down the mountains. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone who needs to use walking sticks. I have seen some reviews that mention they do not have cushioning, but, as the description says, the material they are made of does give a little, so they are not difficult for me to use--they do not feel stiff.

I picked up these poles at the beginning of spring and I've put about 50 miles on them so far. Make sure your clips are fastened good and tight so they don't slip when you put weight on the poles. They vibrate/wobble a bit more than I would like upon impact, but for the price of these poles I am satisfied.
It is pretty good,but it has a problem
August 17, 2016
It is pretty good,but it has a problem. The tips are not strong and wear resistant enough. If you want to do a long hiking or use it frequently,choose better one. I used this poles to do entire Colorado Trail. The steel poles break at mile 300. and the last little bit steel parts and plastic parts broke at the end (around 500 miles). Compare to the price and quality,it is ok. I love the carbon fiber,it is supper light. This is just for short casual hiking. Remember This!!!
could be a nice assistive device for those with physical limitations.
July 29, 2016
it's been a while since i purchased these, still a work-in-progress' in the hands of someone with an advanced degenerative spinal auto-immune issue. walking has been such a huge part of our 42 year marriage, i do use these for five mile hikes now.
I like that I can protect floors by covering tips indoors
January 23, 2016
One of the baskets came off the first time I used it, and I didn't see where, so I had to discard the other. I didn't have much need of them anyway, since I walk on sidewalks, not mountain trails. I like that I can adjust the height of these poles to fit me. I have scoliosis and meniere's syndrome, which, between the two cause me to be unsteady on my feet in crowded situations. These poles help me maintain my balance when I am out and about, so I am not homebound by my disability.
Functional, lightweight poles for trail hiking
November 18, 2015
I saw that these poles were on sale and ordered them on short notice for a 2-day winter backpacking trip in the white mountains NH. The poles worked perfectly, and made ascending and descending the steep, snowy trails to Mount Kinsman much less strenuous.I was looking for an inexpensive yet functional and durable set of trekking poles, and so far they are doing a great job. The '80% Carbon' material is noticeably lighter than comparable aluminium poles, and feels almost as sturdy. (I can't comment on whether they are more or less prone to snapping yet, but will update the review if I run into any problems.)The metal tips offer great traction on dirt, rock and ice. A pair of rubber caps for asphalt hiking is included, but I only intend to use these as trail hiking poles, so I can't comment on those. The flip-lock mechanism to extend the poles work fine and feel robust. It only took me a few moments adjust the flip-lock screws to the appropriate tension, so that the sections are not overtightened but still won't slip if you put your full weight on the poles. The soft grips are comfortable and the finger ridges prevent sliding without feeling bulky or uncomfortable.My only gripe with these poles is that the wrist-cord adjustment is a bit fiddly. contracting the cords by pulling the adjustment strap is easy enough, but expanding them was very difficult without using both hands. Not a big problem though.The only other comment is about the design... it's pretty 'loud'. The bright green surface with black plastic clamps and white flip-lock levers look like the poles were assembled from whatever colour parts were available in spare parts box :-) I don't care about the looks of my outdoor gear if it's functional, so whilst these poles aren't very pretty I didn't mind too much.
Excellent poles!
September 9, 2015
Would easily be a five star review, but the instructions are an example of the worst English I have seen. I have used these poles frequently, and they are very light weight and easily set to the desired length. The poles are extremely stiff as expected with the carbon fiber composite construction. They are relatively expensive, but I believe that they are fairly priced.

Tips Do Not Last!
August 22, 2016
I lost the second pole, which is NOT the fault of the manufacturer. However, on the pole I do have the tip has all ready worn off, and I did NOT use it that much.Now I am trying to find where I can locate replacement tips.
Adjustment problem
August 3, 2016
Need Allen wrench to tighten plastic adjustment nuts so pole doesn't collapse. No indication that you need Allen wrench.

July 21, 2016
When you lock down the retainer it seems to be secure but slips slowly over a hike. Needs redesigning.
Snapped 1 mile in to first use
April 17, 2016
I got these in January and used them for the first time today. Note that when I bought these they were branded "Vorosy". My purchase history brings me here, and the products are identical (besides the name printed on the side).1 mile in, I slipped, my weight went on the pole, twisted... and *snap*... I find myself sitting on the ground. Evidently, the pole couldn't take the weight of a 205lb dude with a 40lb pack.Ok... Broken pole. Not a good start for the product. That said, I'm not seeing this as a common complaint here and am chalking this up to really bad luck.I ended up using the second pole for the rest of the hike. It worked great. Nice and light. Grip felt good. I like the way carbon fiber provides some "anti shock" without needing a built in spring mechanism...At this point I'm trying to figure out how to put in a warranty claim. I can find nothing on Google, so it looks like I'm going to have to try through Amazon.For the rating, I'm conflicted. Seeing as I want to give them another shot, I'm marking this 3 stars.EDIT: revised rating to one star. I could find no way to place a warranty claim. Amazon customer service could not find contact info for the manufacturer or the seller (not the current seller listed)... The "1 year warranty" appears to be bunk.Amazon was awesome and gave me a refund, so I'm happy from that angle. It was not, however Amazon's responsibility to do so since the product was not sold by Amazon.Final(?) Edit:Hey, the new company (Jesban) reached out to to help with the warranty issue. It looks to me like they are trying to make things right. I am much less concerned about lack of warranty service.
Poles are light with low swing weight - great for hiking
January 20, 2016
Poles are light with low swing weight - great for hiking. There is no "anti-shock" in the poles which is a disappointment and not as advertised.
Stuck in mud, split in two. Update: got new pole and 4 feet and 2 collar
November 27, 2015
Bought these for support when I wade out in water fishing etc. First thing that happened was that they got stuck in mud and split in two when I pulled it out. I would strongly recommend removing the rubber feet if using in mud and put the plastic collar on so it does not sink too deep. Now I have to try figure out how to buy new rubber feet. It was way too easy for these to split, should have been some stopper built in.Update 12-13-15: Got one pole together with 4 rubber feet and 2 plastic collars from Trafun (they were very prompt and courteous) in spite of the fact I never asked for it. I now give them another star for the professional response. I still think it should not have come apart that easily from pulling straight up but also acknowledge that I put them through a hard test in deep mud w/o collar. I could put the pole together again but now know that they cannot withstand pulling hard. Its not like a ski pole.

Very Poor DUrability
September 16, 2017
Did about a week of light hiking in the Alaska back country and these broke halfway through.
but nothing I haven't put on more expensive poles in the past which held up fine. Returning for credit to purchase a more expens
August 24, 2016
Tip of one of the poles snapped on day 8 of an 8 day hike. Definitely put some wear and tear on them, but nothing I haven't put on more expensive poles in the past which held up fine. Returning for credit to purchase a more expensive pair.
hope I just got a bad set.
February 16, 2016
Returned them after the first day. Took a short 4 mile hike on flat ground. Both of the poles had the tightening assembly come unglued from the pole. I know someone else that has the same poles with no issues though.. hope I just got a bad set.
Locking Screws!!
January 6, 2016
I returned these poles. Im an avid hiker and lead hiking groups so hiking/trekking poles are very important for safety. The poles are nice design and have a strong finish, good grip and extends to good height, but the first thing I test is the weakest link which is the joints where they extend. I lock them and lean in with my weight. These did not support me. They kept sliding. I had not even done my first hike, just trying them around the house and I kept having to stop and tighten the locking screws which I could see as very irritating while hiking.If the manufacturer made a better locking design these poles would be perfect.
Dislike: The screws for the adjustable length do not ...
November 5, 2015
Dislike:The screws for the adjustable length do not stay tight and I had to constantly stop to readjust so they wouldn't slide to a smaller length. I finally tightened them to stay the desired length, but by doing that, I am unable to make them smaller for carrying when not in use. I am probably going to return them.I do like the weight and the adjustability factor. Unfortunately, it does't work properly.
Not worth the money, either buy a cheaper pair or pay the premium for a more name brand pair of poles
October 19, 2015
Product ultimately doesn't fully function as designed. While lightweight and compact when extended the latches will not hold the pole in the extended position with minimal weight put on it. I spent much of my only hike with these adjusting the poles back out to the desired length. In an effort to tighten the latch enough for the pole to remain extended I broke off a piece on one of the latches. On one hike I had to repeatedly loosen the latch, extend the pole again and tighten the latch so many times that I lost track. I expected more for the price...

NOT anti-shock.
July 11, 2016
If there is anti-shock tech in these things, then Vorosy (or Jesban, or whoever actually makes these things) made it very unapparent. I was excited to get these, but when they arrived, there was no give to them. I extended and locked them to my height and gave them a test push...nothing. Leaned on them. Nothing. Read the tiny amount of printed material that came with them. Nothing. These have no anti-shock features. The way I think they get away with calling it "anti-shock" is by using a minimal amount of carbon fiber, then terming it "physical" anti-shock...which is misleading to begin with. First of all, carbon fiber composites do two things; they add stiffness and reduce weight. STIFFNESS. Second, the wording; "physical anti-shock." Well, what else would it be? Metaphysical? Ethereal? Anti-shock implies that there is some kind of mechanism in place to absorb the shock of the pole striking the ground. All that's present here are some ribbed extensions of the neoprene grip. I suppose the company would respond that their special construction methods allow for a certain amount of give in the pole itself, not counting on the fact that there are customers out there who have a basic understanding of things like physics, tensile strength, and mechanical engineering. Whoops.Also, these things are fairly lightweight, but not nearly enough to make me think there's enough carbon fiber composite in the construction to reduce it noticeably; they weighed in at about 14 ounces each, so....yeah. I won't say "false advertising," but....forget it, it's pretty much false advertising all around here. If I didn't need my $50 back, I'd melt the darn things down and run the slurry through a mass spectrometer. I'd be very interested in that.All that said, they seemed solidly built. I'm pretty sure if I didn't actually need anti-shock features (bad back and knees), I'd probably recommend them. But, seeing as I do, and they're sold with the anti-shock as a feature, and they completely failed to deliver...Nope.There are better options out there. Spend the extra cash on some Black Diamond poles, or even the low-end High Trek poles; they actually have high-tension springs in them that do what they're supposed to.
Waste of Money
June 29, 2016
Took these out of the package today after getting a pair for my daughter for Christmas to go on first hike with them and yep broken. One of the length tightners is stripped. No way to contact seller, waste of money since its been to long. My bad for not checking out more thoroughly, but don't waste your money!
Poor quality hiking poles
March 27, 2016
If I could provide a lower rating I would. This these hiking poles are garbage. The first time I attempted to use them I only walked a few hundred yards and one of the poles broke. I can assure you that I placed no undue stresses on the poles. While it's possible the break occurred because of damage during shipping, upon receipt no damage was evident. In any case, the break revealed the poor construction and design of this product. The irony is I had tried to cancel this order shortly after I had placed it because of the long delivery time. I had placed an order for different hiking poles (Pacemaker- Expedition) that had an earlier shipping date. When I called to cancel the order for the Vorosy poles I was informed that they had already shipped. I informed the vendor that I would go ahead an accept shipment since I hike a lot and would use the extra pair of poles. In retrospect I should have returned them as they proved to be unfit for use. I've been getting good service out of my Pacemaker Expedition poles although one of the rubber paws on the base has an annoying habit of coming detached causing me to have to backtrack, relocate and reattach it periodically.
I have now ordered another type from a different make that has great reviews.
February 7, 2016
I returned this item a couple of weeks ago because the tightening clip broke on my first hike. The same happened with a replacement set I got from the same make. Piece of junk. DO NOT BUY. I have now ordered another type from a different make that has great reviews.
