 Junk! January 9, 2009
Make sure you order TWO of these as 1 (ONE) pole is what you get per order. Better yet don't order ANY.. DAH! Then follow the instructions, figure out the pole does not telescope out and lock into place as written, get a set of pliers, try again, now it all comes apart, reassemble this junker into place, turn until your wrists hurt, finally using a vice-grip lock the pole into a permanent length and hope to God it doesn't fold the 1st time U put weight on it. You are better off buying 2 4ft dowels and much safer. Junk is what U end up with thin bendable aluminum trash. Try that with ice cold hands!!!!!!
 Great product, right price January 8, 2009
Great for hiking or walking, good balance and weight, with 3 adjustable telescoping sections, good and comfortable hand grip, the compass is very simple but its ok, great cap for the tip.
Best option for a few $
pole lock no longer works November 12, 2008

i haven't had any problems with tips falling out, but the adjustable pole lock no longer works on one of the poles, no matter which way i screw the thing. very unfortunate, because otherwise this seems to be a decent product for very little money.
The pole is good the attachments suck October 13, 2008

Well going by the name the only thing they intended you keep is the pole. There is no place to keep the cap (It keeps falling off the little area near the bottom guard constructed for that purpose). Looks like a very well design that the chinese have done as little as possible to meet the letter of the design but not the spirit.
The paint scratches easily, but doesnt affect performance.
Havent seen the tip fall off yet, but if it does the pole is pretty much useless as it will start to flower at the bottom.
Generally like swiss gear, but this has all the makings of chinese gear with an appropriate sticker (whatever you want coleman or swiss gear).

Bought 'em at Wal-mart for cheap. Brush guard fell off inside of 100 meters - pole lock broke and collapsed in less than 2 miles. Save yourself the hassle and invest in something more substantial - ya get what ya pay for.
