York Nordic Motivator Walking Poles for Balance and Rehab - Patented Stability Grips - Lightweight, Adjustable, and Collapsible - 2 Pieces Adjustable w/flip Locks - Heights 4'6" up to 6'2" - 230 lbs

I ordered a set of the birch trekking poles, and I am in love with them! They are easy to adjust and most comfortable to use; especially with the ergonomic handles. I have found with my carpal tunnel, I prefer to use the thumb rest on the side of the grip rather than on top, though both work. The poles are very easy to adjust and very lightweight and fun to walk with for rehabbing your body back into shape for fitness. I have now officially found my new favorite form of exercise to keep me motivated, so these poles are aptly named. The poles come with regular tips for pavement, soft terrain spikes snow baskets, a soft carry case with pocket, and wrist straps. There are some very helpful instructions and instructional videos to assist the consumer in getting set up for the first time, if unfamiliar with trekking poles. The wrist straps, though comfortable, do not stay cinched and open up during walking. Also; the right wrist strap, has to be assembled upside-down for the word "York" to be on the outside, when installed, as it seems both straps were printed in the same direction, so the right one does not match the video instructions. The Seller graciously sent me a couple of extra pairs to try; another set of the straps that come with the poles and a set of straps that come with metal clips. I found the thinner straps would be useful and more lightweight and appropriate for summer, and that the metal clips seemed to remain locked better than the plastic, which actually do not stay snapped down for me on the original motivator straps. The original straps are my favorite, though, I do actually prefer my wrist straps padded and wider for winter when I am wearing gloves. All-in-all I really do love these poles, the designs are fresh and fun, as well as user friendly, lightweight and a pleasure to use. So far I have only used them in snow and the spiked tips really bite into the terrain for stability. I found the service for York to be helpful for its customers with great training video instructionals and personalized tips if you find a bit more is needed to get you started.

I love these poles. The grip is really wonderful. I have had several back surgeries and these are really helping me walk my mile a day. They are light weight and easy to get used to. Thank you for making such a good product.

I’m glad that I got this walking poles! They’re just perfect! Light, sturdy, comfortable, nice quality and look good. I used them already and it was easy walk.

Far and away the most comfortable walking poles I’ve ever tried. The ergonomic grip is comfortable and well-fitted. The thumb and palm rests are game changers, allowing me to loosen my grip on the poles and reduce hand fatigue significantly. All that would warrant 5 stars, but I would add another 5 for customer service. This company goes out of their way to answer questions and to make sure every little detail is perfect. I am a huge fan and will be a customer for life!

Customer service from this company is exceptional, and the product is very high quality. However, the grip is just too small for my "chunky" fingers and hand, so I am returning. If York Nordic were to modify this grip slightly to make it more accommodating, I would definitely buy them again.

Very good product helps with balance and makes walking more secure.

Strong, hand fitting, secure clip, just what I wanted.

I have an old knee injury that makes walking kind of difficult. I got these poles to see it it would help me with walking. So far so good... I'm able to stand more upright when I walk instead of looking at my feet. It definitely is a fully body workout too - my arms/upper back were kind of sore after a few trips around the block. Definitely recommend!
