Lightweight, compact, cane

Comments: The Komperdell Walking Pole with Cork Grip is as billed. It is light weight, collapsible, easy to adjust for users up to 6'4 inches. I am 6 ft 2 inches and still have a couple of inches of length that I have not used when adjusted for my height on a flat surface. The disadvantage is that these poles are labeled ultra light, which they are. If you are going to use them for serious hiking in rough terrain, you are hard on equipment or are of stout build, you would be better served by a stouter set of poles.

Cons:
mismatched parts, Unstable
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Minimalist
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I am a disabled Veteran with a bad limp and use canes for support. In the past, I have used and enjoyed Komperdell poles and been completely satisfied. They are light and compact enough to fit in the pocket on the back of an airline seat. This one, however, was a complete disappointment. It looked like it was made out of spare parts. The sections were mismatched colors, the bottom section was too short and not calibrated for length adjustment. It featured an "antishock" device, which actually detracts stability. I rated this one-star, but only because there was nothing lower. Don't waste your money.
A great, light walking stick.....
By Pixelchix from Grover Beach, CA on 3/20/2008
Pros:
Good grips, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Hiking, Walking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: The cane grip is comfortable to hold, and it is very light weight. Mine didn't come with any paperwork, so it took a bit to figure out how to turn the shock absorber on and off. The cane grip makes it possible to put weight on the walking stick and less on your back...great for nursing an injury or sore leg.

Great all-purpose walking stick
By Ann W. from Cuyahoga Falls, OH on 1/3/2008
Pros:
Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight
Cons:
Collapses Too Easily
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the walking stick with the cane style grip because I have back and foot problems, and sometimes, well, I need a cane! I use this while hiking and find that it's great on hills. It's also helpful when negotiating icy sidewalks while walking my dogs. With the rubber tip, I've used it around the house as a cane when I have pain issues. I don't know that it would stand up to constant use as a cane, but for occasional use, it's great. The only thing I don't like is that I have trouble tightening it enough so that it doesn't collapse a bit if I put some weight on it. Overall, I like it enough to have given two as gifts.
