Tracks Compact Travel Staff

When folded, this hiking stick would fit in a typical carry on luggage that can be easily packed for travel. I used it recently on a trip to southern France and it worked well. However it is relatively more expensive than others, and when collapsed, the three segments are kind of loose to carry in hand. If you like to to travel light with only carry on this would work great. Otherwise a cheaper one would just as well.

I bought this as a birthday gift for my ever ambling father. He lives in out West and wanders all over canyons and rocks and mountainsides.
He wrote me after using it for about a week to tell me how much he loved it and what a great gift it was. He'd even been accosted by another gentleman who wanted to know where it came from because his daughter had been pestering him to "be more careful" while hiking.

He says it is lightweight and easy to work with and learn to depend upon for extra support. He loves it!

The product was great and fortunately did arrive ok. This was the second pole of this miodel and I searched quite a while to find a supplier. I was happy to find it on Amazon. It is the most compact staff available and it works great as a camera monopod. HOWEVER, apparently the packer did not realize that it needed to be folded up for shipping. He tried to ship it wihtout compacting it (see picture). It was in a HUGE box and during shipping the tip wore through the box and was sticking out at least 6 inches. Your packing staff needs more instruction on this item.

Great product! Sturdy, light and easy to use. Worth the price.
