THANK YOU! The directions that came with the poles appear to be for something different entirely. If it weren't for this video, I would never have figured it out! THANKS

[jeremywenrich]

Thank you so much. I don’t know why I was struggling to engage the Slide Lock. It’s so intuitive!

[lacyclist]

Thanks for taking the time to post this video. The written instructions on how to assemble these poles that BD includes are poor, and I would never have figured it out without your video.

Thanks Becky, just what I need to know about the Slide Lock. Im gonna pick them up this weekend at the REI sale.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I’ve been struggling to collapse these poles and did not know the trick of pulling up and sliding. Yay!

Hi Becky, nice presentation:) I love these poles for lightweight backpacking. The aluminium construction is sturdy and forgiving when you get them stuck between rocks!! A "heads-up" - I hike internationally and am finding that most airlines require hiking poles be packed in your checked luggage. If you change airlines during a trip you could get caught out if you carry-on only. Happy and safe hiking.

Great video. Thank you for the careful demo!!

[joshthompson]

Thank you for such a great video!! Simple and easy! Helped me learn how to best use these for everyday use

[fyreflyskye]

I was so annoyed with the instructions that still appear to be for another type pole. Thank you. It's so much simpler.

[andrescordoba]

The instructions are so confusing! Thanks for the video

[margaretsch.]

Even with this video, I can't make the pole STAY secure once I do my best to set up. So frustrating.

[vacaysantafe]

Agree with other comments! These are great poles, but the Chinese type instructions are super confusing... maybe write and print instructions in USA... I'll be happy to help....

Fixed length noo 😔 so I cant adjust 140cm between hiking and for tents?

[robmaldonado]

Yeah, so my pair literally bent 90° while fully extended the other day as I nearly fell….. my face would’ve met Mr. Rock.

The engineers screwed up on the necessary tolerances, apparently the straps on BD poles have been breaking for years.

Think about the myriad technological advances in mountain sports equipment made by BD engineers over the last few decades. Now ask yourself how it is possible that BD engineers cannot design a little pole strap that will not break. I wonder how many thousands of hours of BD customer's time has been wasted because the designers of a BD pole did not determine appropriate tolerances for a pole strap.

These poles suck. The cords give out and they get stuck and you can’t even open them.

Like everyone else, thanks for the video as the instructions are horrible.
