"I bought these trekking poles right before a trip to California where I hiked over 40 miles with them. They performed extremely well in a range of conditions and I was very pleased with the build quality of the poles. Additionally, I was impressed with the sustainable cork grips and telescopic extension."
"I am entry level and wanted a little bit of an in between entry level and more “advanced” pole. I think these fit the bill perfectly. I have used them 3 times now over 50+ miles and they haven’t let me down. I do wish it had instructions for removing the tips because I did not see any I also think they could have some on board storage for the extra tips in the poles themselves but these things don’t affect the quality or the review by any means."
"Love em, however found that the clamps slipped on rare occasion. Grips felt nice and light weight"
"Work great! Expensive, but a one time purchase."
"Fast delivery. Order just as described."
"How does Black Diamond keep raising the bar on trekking pole design and technology? Pursuit Trekking poles are the answer. . . love how easy they adjust and stay put lengthwise. The cork grips are lightweight and the straps are extremely comfortable. Add in basket and tip options and you have a winner!"
"Amazing quality. I am very happy with this purchase. These poles are superior to other poles that I have used."
"Strong, lightweight, durable, and with a feature that I did not know existed: "Whippet adaptable""
"They do indeed run on the "tall" side. I'm just under 6 feet tall so I initially bought the larger size. Way too much extra pole! I exchanged them for the smaller size."
"I bought these for multi day hiking trips and hunting hauling meat out and so far they've been great!"
