"These poles were a necessity on my week long backcountry trip. They made it more possible and safer to ascend and descend the steep mountains and canyons. They are extremely light weight and collapse to a small packable size. I never questioned if they were going to hold my weight or be there for the support I needed. If your going into the backcountry you need these with you."
"Solid value. Brought them on a 4 day school trip and let a bunch of the kids try them out. Positive reviews by all. Easy to add the baskets once we hit the alpine snow."
"I was looking to upgrade my poles from a relatively cheap pair I bought on discount that were no longer holding up. I had used a pair of black diamond poles on a group trip and loved them, so decided to buy a pair. These seemed like the perfect balance of quality and price, and I have not been disappointed! They are super light and comfy, easy to use with the locking function (much better than my last pair with a twisting function), and feel great in your hands. I just took them out on my first hike with them this weekend, and they do not disappoint. I love these poles and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good quality, simple pair of hiking poles."
"Black Diamond sent me a womens jacket instead of the treking poles I originally ordered. Told me i had to ship back the shirt before they could send me the correct item. When i shipped the shirt back they decided to tell me that the trekking poles were out of stock and they wouldnt know when they would have more. They gave me a 20% off discount which would be great the original poles i ordered were 50% off for $60. The 20% they gave me would still have me paying $120 for a set of poles i didnt even want in the first place. And the gave me a month to spend it! I didnt spend it and i wont be using their products anymore of they cant take responsibility for their own shipping mistakes. Womp womp"

"Good sticks"
"My partner's old Trail poles needed replacing, after 25 years of use and abuse, so we got a pair of the new Trail Poles. Love them. As before, thank you Black Diamond, for not getting cute with 'updated' designs or fads."
"Perfect for the big boys and lightweight. They are also perfect for people with sweaty hands and the grip is perfect"
"Picked these up before hitting rim to rim. Life savers. Super light weight stable and tough did not contract at all over 25 miles of use."
