Overmont 7075 Aluminum Trekking Poles, Foldable with EVA Grips and Trail Tips
Product description
The tri-fold design packs down to approximately 38 cm, making this pair of Overmont trekking poles easier to store between hikes or fit into luggage. Their adjustable length and choice of tips also let you set them up for different walking surfaces.
They’re aimed at walkers who want compact poles for trails and travel, rather than equipment to lean on with their full body weight.

The folding format is the main distinction from a less compact, fixed-length approach: the poles are designed to pack away, while the flip lock allows you to set their length for use. The supplied accessories cover pavement, gravel, dirt, rock, mud and snow. That range is useful if your outings move between surfaces, though the product information does not specify a load rating.
Practical tips
To unfold the poles, pull the middle folding section out until its locking button clicks, then connect the sections and adjust the length. For storage, push that section back in before folding. Close the flip lock fully, if it needs a firmer hold, the manufacturer says its screw can be tightened slightly. Keep the shaft within its marked STOP line.
Buyer feedback highlights portability, light feel, adjustability and an assembly process some find straightforward. Reports on durability and the attachment or locking system are mixed, however, so check that the sections are connected and the lock is secure before setting out. Worth considering if you want a compact pair for walking or hiking and value interchangeable tips. It might not be a great match if you need a cane or poles intended to support your full body weight, these are described as aids for balance and stability, not substitutes for a medical walking cane.
Box contents
The package includes a pair of poles and a carry bag, along with rubber tips, boot tips, snow baskets and mud baskets. The different attachments are intended for varied ground, so choose the one suited to the surface before a walk. No other included items are specified.
Practical questions
How do you set the poles up for a walk? Pull the middle section out until the locking button clicks, connect the sections, adjust the height and close the flip lock. Keep the shaft below the STOP mark.
Can they be used on snow or mud? Snow baskets and mud baskets are included, alongside tips for other listed surfaces such as pavement, gravel, dirt and rock.
Can you put your full weight on one pole? No. The product information says they are intended to improve balance and stability, not to carry full body weight or replace a medical cane.
Final verdict
These poles suit someone who wants a packable pair with adjustable length and surface-specific attachments for walks and hikes. Their compact fold is a practical advantage for storage and travel, the mixed buyer comments about durability and locking attachments make careful assembly and a pre-walk check worthwhile. Choose them for walking support and portability, not as a weight-bearing mobility aid.
