kid’s trekking poles

Maybe not the answer you are looking for but I bought a pair of these about 5-6 years ago for my mother who is now 83 and 4'10" tall and she loves them. She uses them everyday and has never had a problem with them, in fact her older sister ended up getting some also, they are not using them to go hiking but for everyday use and they have never let them down(literally) which is a good thing :) the Costco poles are cheaper but I must say I do really like the Black Diamond pole a lot so that is my 2cents.

The BD First Strike are good poles. My kids use them… my wife now too.

I have also seen people saw the head off golf clubs for light fixed length poles. You could probably find some clubs cheap at a garage sale. Might even find a saw there too. One stop shopping! :)

Link, Jacob – thanks, that was useful info.
