These are a very nice piece of kit. Very well made, light and feel robust. I bought these to replace a cheaper brand I bought because they broke. However, there are two features of the cheaper pair which I do prefer. The Harrier pole's plastic guard around the spike is larger and gets caught in the heather and moss over which I run. This can pull on the pole when extracting and mean the pole can make a worrying clicking noise as the cable stretches. Also, the cheaper poles had a handle with uniform ribs on it so you could grip at any comfortable point instead of being limited to the ergonomic handle. I did prefer this flexibility as I held the old pair slightly differently depending on the gradient of terrain. Ultimately the old poles broke after very little use and these ones seem much stronger. I am happy with my purchase.

Only tested them out once so far but seem ok. Theyre 4 stars mainly because of the price point, super good value. Had i paid more they migtht only have been 3 stars as materials and build quality seems a little bit "cheap". Having said that they could earn an extra star for longevity, i'll see how they fair when i take on Cape Wrath!

Used for distance walking on rugged paths and very much for supporting my poor old knees downhill. These are sturdy but very light. But not too light, if that makes sense. Good grip. Well thought out collapsing mechanism that has just one clip to click into place rather than 3 section to pull out and secure each one in turn. Mightily impressedand looking foward to many years of service

Good, sturdy and well made set of poles. Easy to adjust to the right height and to fold out and back down again. No wonder these poles have a great reputation.

Great pair of hiking/running poles. Lightweight, easy and quick to assemble and most importantly affordable. They seem to be well-made. I tend to take good care of my equipment so I am expecting them to last for many many miles ahead of me. Thank you :-)
