This walking stick is the aluminum folding trekking pole with a steel cable and is perfect for any kind of traveling. It is collapsible so it is easy to fit into a duffle bag or backpack. If you want it folded up, there are two sections that can be pulled apart. It comes with a strap to secure everything in place. To unfold it, just take the strap off and let the sections fall down and they will connect with each other. It’s very lightweight and sturdy.

I’ve been searching for a walking stick for a while. I wanted to find a walking stick that would fit in a backpack, was easy to handle, and would have a consistent height. When I bought this one, I was really happy with it. It did all the things that I wanted it to do. I have used this walking stick for over two years and I love it! I mostly use it to get through crowds, uneven surfaces or when I am walking in an unfamiliar place. I recently traveled to Las Vegas and Zion National Park and it really helped me with all the crowded areas.

Brand: The brand is Cascade Mountain Tech TREKKING POLES – Cascade Mountain Tech. I purchased mine at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

I still use and like this product. But you have to be careful when flying — I got mine taken away because it had a metal tip. I would bring a note from a doctor just in case.
