Swiss Gear Hiking Pole

Well going by the name the only thing they intended you keep is the pole. There is no place to keep the cap (It keeps falling off the little area near the bottom guard constructed for that purpose). Looks like a very well design that the chinese have done as little as possible to meet the letter of the design but not the spirit.

The paint scratches easily, but doesnt affect performance.

Havent seen the tip fall off yet, but if it does the pole is pretty much useless as it will start to flower at the bottom.

Generally like swiss gear, but this has all the makings of chinese gear with an appropriate sticker (whatever you want coleman or swiss gear).

Bought 'em at Wal-mart for cheap. Brush guard fell off inside of 100 meters - pole lock broke and collapsed in less than 2 miles. Save yourself the hassle and invest in something more substantial - ya get what ya pay for.

This is my first hiking pole. I am very happy with the quality and functionality. I have been using this product for more than a month now. It provides the necessary support when hiking. The end cap has so far held on. Value for money!

I ordered 3 hiking poles they came in separate large boxes wasting resources. Two poles were in good shape and came in damaged boxes. The third pole was in an undamaged box but pole doesn't work as well as the other two. The protecting tip was missing and one of the tightening clutches spins and never locks down securely.

The pole arrived broken. The telescoping didn't lock, and there's no way to fix it. That's what I get for buying cheap.
