Budget trekking poles

[El Jason]

I believe mine are black diamond, twist lock, with the cork handles. They’ve worked great for me, and have lasted for a lot of years.

Dont spear yourself @mtmuley

I'd get the Black Diamond , if I were you .

Kinggear carbon fiber with cork handles and flip locks for $40 have served me and the boys well over the last six or seven years.

Whichever ones you get, they make damn good shooting sticks, especially in tall grass and sagebrush.

Will you just get a can already???

But ya, I probably use my trekking poles more as a front rest than I do hiking. They come out for pack-outs and that’s about it.

They keep dangling the carrot of over the counter with a 4473 and I keep waiting… Hopefully Montana will be on the list after the next legislative session.

I used and busted most all of them. I’ll be buying another pair of the carbon flick locs from black diamond. Most bang for the buck. It will be my 3rd pair of that kind. They used to replaced snapped segments for cheap but no longer do that.
