Foxelli Carbon Fiber Trekking Pole Review

Trekking poles are not just for older hikers.  Everyone can benefit from using them.  I picked up a pair of Foxelli Carbon fiber trekking poles, and here are my initial thoughts.

I used the Foxelli Carbon fiber trekking poles for the first time on my shake-down hike at Archers Fork.  (LINK to the post) https://www.foxelli.com/products/carbon-fiber-trekking-poles-hog1

 Specs:

Price (As of October 2021. -  $71.97

Published weight is 7 oz per pole 

Height Range: 25 inches to 55 inches

Overall, they are excellent trekking poles, and I highly recommend them.

This was my first time using trekking poles, and I found them invaluable as I navigated the ascents and descents on the trail with a 35+ pound pack.  I didn’t have any footing issues, and they helped me on some trickly areas with wet leaves covering rocks. 

They are carbon fiber, so they are light.  The flip locks were easy to adjust, and with the demarcations on each section, it was easy to set the poles consistently.  I added the small baskets on as it comes with snow baskets and pavement walkers along with rubber covers to protect the tips.  All of this comes with a carrying case. They also included a fanny pack.

I found the poles to be extremely stiff and didn’t notice any vibrations or flexing.  Nice and solid.  The flip closure tension clips were easy to adjust and held tight.  I had no instances where the pole sections collapsed or moved.  None.

The cork handles were excellent, and my hands felt great all day for both days, and I didn’t feel the need to wear gloves.  The grip straps are fully adjustable.  Just an excellent trekking pole.

I really recommend these poles and couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
