The EVA foam grips are designed for long-term comfort and control. They’re lightweight, sweat-absorbing, and provide reliable traction, helping reduce hand fatigue on extended hikes. Even in hot, cold, or damp conditions, the grips remain comfortable and easy to hold.

Yes. Each pole weighs just 186 g (0.41 lb) but is built with T800 high-modulus carbon fiber and X-Weave construction. This combination provides excellent strength and stability for demanding trails, while keeping overall weight low to reduce arm fatigue on long hikes.

The poles are adjustable from 110 to 130 cm (43.31–51.18 in), making them suitable for a wide range of users. This adjustment range also allows hikers to fine-tune pole length for uphill, downhill, and flat terrain.

Yes. When used correctly, the ergonomic design, carbon fiber’s natural shock-damping properties, and the EVA foam grips work together to absorb trail impact. This helps reduce accumulated stress on wrists, elbows, knees, and ankles—especially noticeable over long distances or repeated descents.

These poles are crazy light. Only about 190g each. When I first picked them up I honestly felt like throwing away my old aluminum trekking poles right away. I still can’t figure out why I used those heavy ones for more than two years. Maybe it was just good training for my legs I guess 😂. The folding design is really convenient. They collapse down small and fit easily into my 45L backpack, which is perfect when I’m scrambling or packing up fast. Build quality looks excellent too. Everything feels solid and well finished, nothing loose or cheap feeling. For a full carbon folding trekking pole, the value here is honestly hard to beat. I’ve looked at quite a few poles before buying, and it’s pretty hard to find something with better price and quality than the **Strider Z**. Really happy with this one.

Glad they made a good first impression. Light weight and packability were exactly what we aimed for with the Strider Z.

Appreciate you sharing your experience, and hope they join you on many more hikes.

Got these folding trekking poles recently and my first impression was how incredibly light they are. The full carbon construction really makes a difference. I took them out last weekend on a snowy mountain hike and they performed great.
The included snow baskets are actually easier to install and remove than the ones I’ve used before, which was a nice surprise, and they feel solid in use. Of course, I’m careful with carbon poles and try not to jam them into rock cracks — too much sideways force can snap any carbon pole.
Overall, among the trekking poles I’ve used, these probably offer the best value for the weight and quality. I’ve already recommended them to a couple of friends.

Thanks for sharing this. Glad they worked well on your snowy hike and that the snow baskets were a nice surprise. Also appreciate you pointing out the care needed with carbon poles.

Really means a lot that you recommended them to friends.

Very happy with these so far. Lightweight, easy to pack, and really convenient on the trail. The folding design is great, and they feel solid for hiking.

Thanks for sharing this.

Great to hear the folding design is making things easier out on the trail. We put a lot of focus on keeping it lightweight without losing that solid feel, so it’s good to know that’s coming through.

Appreciate the feedback.

Used these twice on weekend hikes and honestly, so far so good. Super lightweight, easy to carry, and they feel solid on the trail. Really happy with them and would definitely recommend.

Really appreciate you taking them out on actual hikes and sharing this.

Super glad they’ve been easy to carry and felt solid on the trail. That balance is exactly what we’re aiming for.

Thanks again for the support, and it means a lot that you’d recommend them.

These Carbon poles are not fit for purpose. I was snow shoeing on Mt Cokley in good conditions when one of my poles snapped off close to the basket. This was only the 3rd time I'd used them. I'm extremely disappointed with them as I'd usually expect a set of poles to last me a couple of years!

Hi Karl, we’re really sorry this happened, especially after only a few uses. That’s not the experience we want anyone to have with our gear. We’ve reached out to you directly to make this right and learn more about what happened. Thank you again for the feedback.
