Swiss Gear Hiking Pole

I went to Swiss gear website to check out the pole and see if they had any others. This is the only pole they have which isn't saying much for the brand, but I found that the suggested retail is $4 lower to what Amazon is selling it for. Just seems like the seller should always be lower or at least the same price. Even though Amazon is jacking up the price its still really cheap. Probably too cheap to be any good.

I bought to use when I run with my snowshoes instead of lugging around my ski poles. They are compact, sturdy, and cheap. Much better than paying $65+ for Atlas poles at a local ski shop.

Gave it to my husband for xmas. Works great. Adjustable height allows my kids to use it too.

I bought two hiking poles, which includes a tiny compass each but one them points 180 degrees of the other (ie one points to the South instead North).

On the other hand I am totally dissatisfied of the way EACH pole was packed in a HUGE BOX. Finally I paid a lot for shipping air and two small poles.

For international purchase that's inefficient. Please review this issue

Great Pole for the price.. You can't turn off the Anti-shock. Also,they only ship 1 per Big Box.
