Urban Poling ACTIVATOR2®, Dark Gray/Cyan, 1 Pair – For Users Up to 6’4" – Lightweight, Aluminum Nordic Walking Sticks – Collapsible & Adjustable Hiking Gear – Ergonomic Rubber Grip, Carbide Metal Tip,

I like absolutely everything about these poles. Very sturdy, excellent grasp both at the hands and at the tips that hit the floor. What a fantastic tool for those of us who have mobility issues and balance issues.

These trekking poles are great! My physical therapist recommended them. They improve on standard poles because they have well-designed ergonomic grips. With these poles, I have less stress on my wrists and enhanced comfort. Length adjustability is good, but not infinitely adjustable like my other trekking poles with flip-locks. These aluminum poles are relatively light, but not quite as light as my carbon fiber poles. The weight difference (maybe an ounce or two?) is not a big deal. I purchased these Activator2 poles (vs. the original Activator poles) because they are shorter when fully collapsed, an advantage when traveling. As noted by others, the poles do not have wrist straps, which may be an issue for those hiking on trails or cross-country. Most of my walking is done in my neighborhood, so the lack of straps is not an issue. When I hike in the hinterlands, I will use my other poles. I have been using trekking poles for 15 years, since I was 60, because of mobility and balance issues. I use them whenever I leave the house. They are much better than walkers or rollators because they require more energy, helping maintain upper body strength, and are easily transported. If you have mobility issues, I recommend checking with your health insurance or using your HSA plan. These trekking poles are an improvement over standard trekking poles for those with mobility issues!

Just arrived, looking forward to trying them out. Well made and easy to adjust Hope they help improve balance

Good build quality - but the delivery was missing the rubber stoppers, which means I can’t use it. I raised the issue on the day of delivery and my issue was accepted, but I still haven’t received any news. So it’s still sitting there untouched.

Very very happy with theses poles. Still recovering from a year old broken hip and was struggling with a crutch. Theses poles have liberated me. I can walk longer distances and get around my allotment now. You immediately notice the difference they make to your posture and therefore your comfort. Almost complete loss of pain when walking. You feel so safe and steady and confident. So glad I invested in these.
