Aihoye Hiking Trekking Poles, 2 Pack Collapsible, Lightweight, Anti Shock, Walking Sticks, Adjustable Hiking Pole for Men and Women

very functional and seem sturdy easily assembled and retractable not used in difficult terrain so cannot comment on durability

These are awesome , lightweight and just right for what I need

Aihoye hiking poles are lightweight, collapsible, and shock-absorbing — basically tiny sidekicks for every uphill battle. My knees cheered, my balance improved, and I only looked mildly ridiculous waving them around like a pro. Adjustable, sturdy, and ready for anything — except maybe scaling Everest without oxygen. Perfect for hikes, walks, or pretending you’re in a nature documentary.

I love thses. I can't use regular crutches due to a subluxated shoulder and connective tissue disease. I am also an ambulatory paraplegic. This set of poles help with transfers into and from my wheelchair, help with stability when I need it for walking short distances like checking the mailbox outside. I can stand on my feet no longer than 10 minutes at a time so I don't need full weight bearing sticks but I did need a set for balance due to my incomplete spinal cord injury. These were cheaper and less bulky than my old under arm crutches. They weigh less than my recently broken forearm crutches did which is great for the connective tissue issue. The poles fit into the adjustable crutch holders on the back of my wheelchair just fine. The sticks adjust easy. I made one into a transfer stick for my bed and I carry the other with me to stores since I don't need both at the same time when out doing errands. It's too dangerous for me to go do errands without my wheelchair but with one of these on hand I can stand and reach a high shelf item instead of asking someone to get something for me all the time now. When I'm not out doing errands I keep one stick in the bathroom so I don't have to hunt down a tranfer stick all the time. I plan to do this for each room that I use most often so I will invest in another pair of these soon. I love the different tips that came with them. I switch the tips out depending on weather conditions and flooring. Hospital floors require a better grip than carpet does but the tips fit great in my wheelchair bag for a quick swap when needed. During a short walk (10 minutes is my limit) the pair works wonders for balance on sidewalks, grass, and rocky driveways.

I don't on the hiking part. I bought these for my wife and me when walking for exercise for protection from dogs.

These are perfect. My husband and I are relatively new hikers so we knew we would absolutely needed affordable but functional hiking poles to save our old knees and joints. This made our trek along the AT much easier than it would have been without them. The adjustability makes it easy to find the exact length for your height and also allows up to 4 people to use 1 pole for flat or long hikes where traversing rocks and uneven ground isn’t necessary. The handle material is comfortable and doesn’t get slippery in hot weather and the diverse tips make it incredibly easy to choose the right one for the terrain. Kudos for the locking feature. It was extremely easy to make sure they were secure. The lightweight feel is perfect for storing on your pack when not in use. If I absolutely had to choose a con it would be the length when fully retracted. They’re still a bit long for storing comfortably on a hiking pack but ultimately this is such a small con it’s really not worth losing a star. Definitely worth the money

These poles are light and compact, which unfortunately makes them prone to bending. Over the course of the backpacking trip I bought them for, these poles got bent and twisted and rebent more times than I can count. The spring mechanism also interfered with the retractability which made it very difficult to adjust the height. And even when I was able to get the right height, the poles would slowly collapse over the course of a day of hiking, getting shorter and shorter with each step. By the end of the trip the collapsible sections were permanently locked into place (partly because they were so bent and partly because of mud). The poles were both bent and stuck at different lengths, so I threw them in the trash. After one trip.

Edited Update, 1 Apr 2026: During the last 4 daily uses, all was going well. But, today, about 7.5 minutes into my walk, one of the poles started collapsing. :-( And, because I wasn't holding it correctly, I was unable to tighten it. But, when I got back to my place, I did. SO, BE SURE TO RE-TIGHTEN THEM EVERY FEW USES. Edited Update, 28 March 2026: Replacement Trekking Poles received promptly (within 2 days). Both poles look to be okay (last time, the red plug was poking out on both poles), and have 3 uses on them. Though, I still think, the tubular locking points, would be better than, the telescopic twist to tighten. ... While the poles look nice, the telescoping feature really isn't that good. It would be better, if they had 1 inch space tubular locking points. It took a couple of attempts to get the poles to lock into position. And, during my first short walk, they worked fine. But, just as I started out on my 2nd walk, one of the poles separated, and I can't get it to fit correctly.
