★★★★★Customer service
I chose these over Leki or Black Diamond for the price, the included accessories, and supporting a small company. ... I have never experienced this level of customer service. I'm now a loyal repeat customer.Leslie M.

I've used Hiker Hunger poles since 2016. My first pair lasted eight years and countless miles.Tyler O.
★★★★★Everyday walks
I can now walk longer and at a faster pace to keep up with my familyAnita
★★★★★Travel
They were able to fit in my checked luggage. I used them to hike 70 miles in varied terrainConnie
★★★★★Light and strong
These poles are easy to assemble and adjust to proper height. I switched from a cane to the poles and it was a very good switch. The poles are very strong and yet very light.Tom D.
★★★★★For the grandkids
We got a set of hiking poles for grandson last year for his birthday and now we’re told to “follow the green sticks” as he leads us on our hikes.Jane S.

Outstanding Product and Exceptional Customer Service!
This is my third pair of hiking poles, as I’ve bought them for myself, my husband, and my son-in-law, and we’ve always been extremely happy with them. When one of my poles broke during my last hike, I contacted customer service. Even though my warranty had expired, they kindly offered to send me a replacement part. To my complete surprise, I received an entirely new pair of poles instead!
I live in Venezuela, where online shopping can be challenging, so this level of customer care truly means a lot to me. It’s a pleasure to support a company that genuinely values its customers and stands behind its products.
I couldn’t recommend them more highly! I’ve already started training with my new poles for my next adventure: a mountain crossing in Mérida, Venezuela this November. Thank you for such an outstanding experience!
I cannot say enough about the phenomenal customer service I have received from Hiker Hunger! I've been working to rehab double hip surgeries and bought a set of the Z style poles to use as I've transitioned away from using a walker. I was excited to use the "feet" but found they kept turning as I walked. Working with Alvin, we determined that the cable had stretched so that the lower portion of the pole was turning. I couldn't tighten the thumb screw enough to take up the slack and still be able to close the flip lever. Eventually, the thumb screw froze. Alvin patiently offered suggestions, all of which I tried. When none of these suggestions was able to solve the problem, Hiker Hunger sent me a brand new set of poles - no questions asked! I'm excited to use these new poles as I enjoy a New England vacation in September!
Hi Lois, thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that Alvin and our team could assist you and that you're excited to use your new poles on your upcoming vacation. Wishing you a fantastic trip to New England!
Just back from back-to-back backpacking trips. That’s a lot of backs. Two nights, 17 miles at 6,000 to 10,000’ followed by 3 nights, 27 miles at 10,000 to 12,000’. My Hiker Hungrys were dependable every step of the way.
Did have a minor mishap where the pole got stuck in the mud and the handle pulled off. I was able to fix that with a small strip of Leukotape between the shaft and the handle. I’ll epoxy it back together when I get a chance. Even without the repair it would have been ok but I’d have to pay attention not to leave the pole behind in the mud.
Having 4 points of contact sure feels good on sketchy trails and water crossings. And these poles held my full upper body weight on many occasions.
Hi Larry, so glad to hear your hiking poles served you well on those challenging trips! Thanks for sharing your experience and the helpful tip. Happy hiking!
Excellent customer service! My pole broke and they replaced the broken part for free. I love these hiking poles. They are very lightweight and easy to fold up and strap to your backpack when not in use. 5 stars from me!
Hi Vic, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear you love the hiking poles and appreciate our customer service. Happy hiking!
Love my new foldable sticks. They are so easy to pack in my carryon and they unfold and fold up so nicely and quickly.
Hi Duane, we're thrilled to hear you love your new foldable sticks! Thanks for sharing your positive experience. Happy hiking!
Excellent product and even better customer support. Bought a pair to use on a wobbly cruise ship and shore excursions. I had a wear problem with the tips and they answered an email request within minutes! Highly recommend.
I purchased Hiker Hunger Outfitters trekking poles. I am new to trekking poles and needed to ask questions through their email site. Alvin at Hiker Hunger Outfitters always responded quickly to all my questions and recommended the poles best for me.
I recommend Hiker Hunger Outfitters VERY HIGHLY!!
