Review on Experience Unmatched Stability On Your Next Adventure With Foxelli Collapsible Trekking Poles by Stephen Doyle

Revainrating 4 out of 5

First Impression - my new review

Just received them, 1 week early, nice! The grip is not too thick, feels nice. The wrist bands indeed feel soft and are easy to adjust. The very top black bit is rubbery: offers nice grip. The clips to fix the poles at a certain hight are easily adjustable by hand by turning the wheels a bit. The clips are plastic, but seem fine, I will tell you about durability after my trip. The poles seem strong and held my full weight.On the attachables (the mud and snow thingies) is a screw thread, but it's not very clear when to stop screwing exactly. That plastic is quite flexible. I hope they'll last, we'll see about that too. The rubber feet are to just be pushed on but they don't 'click' or anything to hold them in place. I can see how some people in the other reviews were able to lose them. I think I might put a little surf wax or something in between to make it a bit more difficult to get them off. I'd prefer some clicky turning system.I think the carrying bag might be unnecessary, could just be a sock-bag. There was a little hip bag as a 'thank you gift', which is nice, although I can't use it on a backpacking trip. How cool would it be if that was something small, ultralight and still cheap for them, like a carabine hook or some elastic band to put on the outside of your backpack or some refelective tape to be able to find your poles in the dark.The bigger rubber feet to me seem the most practical to use, since they give you a lot of grip during the entire arm movement, when having the poles in an angle while walking. They are also extremely practical in standing up from a low chair to pull yourself up I found accidentally, to lighten the load on your knees substantially. Old or injured people: use 1 of these to get up (and while you're up, stay active!), give the other to your spouse so they can get you coffee in bed.I'll hike the Kungsleden in Sweden with these and use them to set up my tent as well, so if I remember to, I'll update my review after my trip. Thanks for reading my book.
