Budget trekking poles

Ok. Thanks for all the help. Cork or rubber grips? mtmuley

Our $50 Cascade poles worked great on last week's Alaska moose hunt. Definitely glad we brought them!

Cork and add some hockey tape or tennis tape for 4-5" or so under the grip if it does not already have some material there.

Cork.

Definitely cork.

This thread is funny.
Wrap some duct tape around your pole a bunch of times for any future emergency.

Selecting trekking poles is not funny @Hem. I ordered some Black Diamonds. Cork grips. mtmuley

Are they Sidney Sweeney endorsed?

If they were, I wouldn't have bought them. Although maybe best for frontal loads. mtmuley

Cascade mountain tech is the way to go at a great price

Can you grab a pair for me?

Love mine and could always use an extra set, but they’re showing $80 online price here.

Just came back from Costco and, alas, they appear to be gone....otherwise I'd hook you up.

Will be using mine on WY elk hunt in a couple weeks, probably should have gotten extras just to have around or for the kids.

Ended up with Black Diamond Trail with cork grips. Thanks all. mtmuley

I’ve been a happy user of Black diamond alpine carbon corks for over 10 years but have bought the Costco/cascade mountain tech for my wife and parents who use them less and they do very well for the $.
