I bought these 198g carbon fiber trekking poles for hiking and they’ve been great so far. They’re very lightweight but still feel solid on rocky trails. The folding design makes them easy to pack, and adjusting between 110–130 cm is quick and smooth. The grips are comfortable, and the lock never slipped during my hikes. For something this light, the stability and build quality really stand out. A very reliable pair of poles for backpacking and day hikes.

First time using a carbon fiber trekking pole, I didn’t expect it to be this sturdy. Felt really safe even walking on rocky trails.

I took the Strider Z poles on a 3–day backpacking trip in the Rockies and they blew me away. Each pole is insanely light — you barely notice them in your pack — but once deployed they feel solid and dependable. The Z-fold design snaps together in seconds, and the foam grip is comfortable even on long climbs. After years of carrying heavier aluminum poles, these feel like a game changer for ultralight hiking.

Lightweight, sturdy, folds fast. Exactly what I wanted. Zero regrets 👌

4/5. Light at 198g each, the Strider Z deploys in 10 secs – handy! T800 carbon feels sturdy, flick-lock holds well, and anti-shock eases hikes. Only minor gripe: grip could be softer. Great for regula: grip could be softer. Great for regular treks!
