Great value

by KarlosJ83, Gear Expert from UT, United States Written on January 9, 2010
I purchased these hiking poles to help me walk up and down the wooded trails here in hilly southern Indiana. I've taken about 15 hikes of about 3 to 4 miles and the poles are making a huge difference. They allow me to walk safely especially on muddy slopes. They give my arms a great workout too. I usually carry a daypack and so the poles help me to keep my balance. I'm glad I made the purchase.

Very good quality

I like to use poles no matter when I hike, since it adds to the workout. These poles are very sturdy and comfortable.

Great Trekking Poles

My wife and I both have the Black Diamond Trail Shock poles. After having struggled with the Leki adjustment system, the Black Diamond flick locks are a welcome, and effeicient, change. The poles are simple, lightweight, and a joy to use. For snowshoeing we really like the 3/4 powder baskets.

BD Trail Shock Trekking Poles

Haven't got the chance to really use it yet. I am going to use it for trekking and climbing. CampSaver is absolutely reliable.

I prefer the BD Trail back

by Roi, from Israel Written on September 10, 2011
I like the trail back pole a LOT better.
the trail back shock are a too flexible for someone 6'1 180lba using 125cm setting; I don't know why.
their grip is more comfortable then the trail back grip, but it depends on whether you like rubber or foam.
I prefer the rubber.

the wrist strap are a >nightmare

As good going up as down

by Kevin, from AZ, United States Written on September 10, 2011
I purchased these from CampSaver in early Jan 2010 (great price!) after trying out a pair of Leki poles from a local store and reading a lot of reviews. Did not like locking feature on Leki's, especially in cold weather. The Black Diamond poles are great and help me as much or even more going up than going down. They have increased my endurance in going up steep, rocky trails where boulder hopp

No Problems hat So Ever

by ou812hu, Written on September 10, 2011
We hiked to the Palisade Glacier so we ran into some pretty harsh rocky hiking... These poles held up beautifully, no issues what-so-ever! It saved my hide on a few occasions as well when I really needed that balance from an unexpected slip or two, great construction and very light, Highly Recommend

Great Trekking Poles for thoseunder 5'6"

by Gaige, Written on September 10, 2011
I have the regular version of these (not compact) and got the compact for my girlfriend for Christmas. I love mine and I know she'll love these. These are a must have for backpackers - it'll make your trip so much more enjoyable. They are great not only on the trail with a full load but a lifesaver for crossing streams (balance) and digging in to lift you and your load up and down steep incline

great product!

by Canyon Calvin, Written on September 10, 2011
I had never used treking poles before but once you get the rhythm down, they are great! They are lightweight, adsorb shock, easy to adjust, and take that extra bit of stress off the knees. Another advantage is maintaining balance in 'rocky' situations. I like 'um.
