Greay hiking staff - Charles Neighbors, Mar 19, 2008

This is one great staff, you can easily store it when not in use, A stable stick for your camera and you can find your way if you get lost, by using the compass.

Pretty good, but not the brand advertised - Andres Avila Aguilar, Feb 15, 2008

This pole worked great during a hiking trip to Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica. But it is not a Kaito pole, it is made by another company (I don't remember the name right now, I already tossed it into the closet). It did have the termometer and compass though. I give it 4 stars because it is not the brand that I purchased.

A lot of features for a small price - Michael Eldred, Feb 13, 2008

I found the product description accurate, and the other reviews spot-on. At the risk of repeating what they've said, this is a great hiking pole for a low price. The anti-shock mechanism is easy to turn off and on, the locking mechanism provides a positive stop, and the pole is sturdy without being "stiff."
I am planning to hike, and to take landscape photos, so a hiking pole with a camera stud seemed like a good idea. It adjusts high enough to be useful as a monopod.
The cons? The handle and strap are not "ergonomic." The pole's collapsed length of 29" is not exactly "packable." Nobody's going to mistake you for Indiana Jones.

Light and Rugged - kkrome25, Jun 29, 2007

For such a light hiking pole, it is incredibly rugged and built very well. I like the spring-loaded shock absorber and the detachable top post, so that it can also be used as a camera monopod. At this price, I bought two and it's still 50% less than a pair of name-brand poles. This is a must-have piece of equipment for outdoor photographers.

New to hiking - Mr. Sushi, Jun 01, 2007

I took up hiking for health reasons. I'm a weekend hiker and found after hiking with and without a pole I would never hike without one. Even on short treks. Great for balance i.e., creeks, streams, switch backs. Gives a better full range workout to your upper body. I find myself getting into a rhythm, helping me keep my heart pumping for my cardio workout. I love the boost this pole gives me going up mild to steep grades. I find this pole strong enough for my 200 lb. frame with no problems. The only small negative is the rubber tip wore out quickly. I replaced it with a better one from the local sporting goods store and off to the trails again. For the price I paid and the use I've been getting from this pole it has paid itself off ten fold. I can buy 5 of these for what my friend paid for his one REI pole.
