What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

The description also says the poles measure 21 inches when disassembled, while listing 24.5 inches collapsed. The 54-inch maximum and 24.5-inch collapsed length are otherwise repeated. Confirm the relevant packed configuration if suitcase fit is critical. The listed weight of 1.2 pounds differs from a feature claim of 9.7 ounces per pole, so confirm the weight basis before comparing.

Customer feedback describes the poles as lightweight, easy to adjust, stable, and portable, including for packing in a suitcase. Some customers report good durability, while others mention a hand strap breaking. These experiences make adjustment and packability appealing reported strengths, but buyers should weigh the strap concern against their intended frequency and conditions of use. The listing's dimensions and lever locks provide product context, not proof of those customer experiences.

Frequently asked questions

How long are the TrailBuddy 1A poles when extended and collapsed?

The listing gives a 54-inch maximum and 24.5-inch collapsed length. A separate feature claim says 21 inches when disassembled, so distinguish disassembly from collapsing when checking pack fit.

What comes with the poles?

The stated contents list includes a carry bag, two trekking poles, two mud baskets, two snow baskets, and four rubber tips.

Are these poles adjustable?

The listing describes lever locks and a maximum length of 54 inches, but does not provide a minimum adjustment length.

What should I know about the listed weight?

The details list 1.2 pounds, while a feature claim says 9.7 ounces per pole. Because those figures use different bases, confirm which applies to the selected listing.
