I’ve been in China for the summer, and it has developed that I’ll be doing some mountaineering/hiking in Taiwan and Japan when I leave. I have all my gear, but I have found myself in China with no trekking poles. The French brand Quechua is everywhere, and it has pretty good prices. I typically love Leki poles, but alas there’s nothing I can do. Does anyone know about the integrity of Quechua gear? The poles are pretty light and seem ok, but I know nothing about this brand because we don’t have it in the states as far as I know. I only need the poles for a couple weeks.

The Quechua-brand is BIG overhere (actually it is the hiking/camping-brand of the Decathlon-group). The quality is in general ok e.g. we have a big family sized tent since 2013 and it’s still going strong.

Like Woubeir has stated, Quecha is big business over here in Europe.

I have mixed experiences with the brand. It’s generally okay for things like clothing and family tents, but I’ve had one really bad experience with their ‘backpacking’-tent.

Also heard stories about their pads delaminating fast and their backpack was probably the worst I ever had.

Then again, I was 16 and had no money whatsoever.
