Gear Review: Black Diamond Women's Trail Trekking Poles

Value Rating: 10 Durability Rating: 9 Overall Rating: 9.5 Location of Test: PCT in Washington, Mt. Adams, Mt. Saint Helens, Smith rock, Banff, Wallowas Duration of Test: Longest use was a solid month Product Name: Trail Trekking Poles - Women's Product Brand: Black Diamond Best Use: Hiking, backpacking, mountaineering, trail running Size: 59 - 125 cm The Full Review: My trekking poles have traveled hundreds of miles, from thru backpacking trips, the top of mountains, trail running and more casual hikes around Portland. They are very easy to adjust to your correct height and can be easily changed for maundering down steep terrain or climbing up. They come with snow baskets which make snowshoeing and mountaineering much easier. My trekking poles have saved my life from some slippery falls before, gave me the right amount of support for someone to lean on, and yet pack down small enough for me to strap to my backpack if I don’t want to use them! The Good -Lightweight -Comfy handgrips -Comes with snow baskets -Packs fairly small -Convertible to multiple sizes The Bad: -Limited color options -99.99 for trekking poles The Bottom Line: These trekking poles will take you anywhere and are very durable for how lightweight they are.
