Guide X Trekking Poles

So I have a pinched nerve in my back. I couldn’t really hike much anymore. I got these because I heard poles would help. They did, and I hike like I did 25 years ago. No pain! I love them. Wish I had them back in the day. Double as a bipod for glassing and a rifle rest. I’ve had them a month, and I won’t go in the field without them.

Construction was exactly what I was looking for and the rifle attachment is a nice little feature but I received them with something lodged in between the bottom latch and the metal leg which results in a big groove when adjusting. So I just set the bottom length and don't plan on adjusting it further, still a small form factor.

Excellent all around set of poles, been using them for three seasons to hunt various regions in Alaska. They have held up great from carrying out full animals in one trip off of mountains and acting as a backup central pole for my Selway tent in high winds in remote Kodiak.

These are extremely light and are fantastic!

Following a total knee replacement earlier this year, I upgraded my poles and have been extremely pleased. They are very sturdy, lightweight, and easy to use. I packed out a deer for 1.5 miles over rough terrain and these poles were a game changer!

A few friends recommended I get trekking poles for hunting due to my lower back pain but I was skeptical if they would actually help. Then I found out I have a small hernia right before the season started. I researched a lot of different brands and the Argali's seemed to be the some of the best. They I took them out on a hunt opening day and they made t it so much more enjoyable. I experienced very little pain in my lower back and from my hernia. I felt more sure footed on rough terrain and hills and I was able to go further with fewer rest breaks. The poles held my weight (220 lbs) with ease and no flexing. They are no part of my essential equipment in my hunting pack.

This is an update my review (Dave Baker 8/15/24) . The quality of .my Argali trekking poles has been amazing, I use them all the time, allowing me to do many more activites like watching my grand kids having sporting activities in the school gym, just put the rubber shoes on & go!.Thanks again for making such a tuff quality product

Relied on these poles during a steep pack out with a heavy pack. Handled it great.

Great poles! Lightweight and sturdy.

Finally got a chance to use them. Well made, stable and the attachments work great.

I'm 6'4" 250 lbs and recovering from ACL replacement 6 months ago, I've had real bad experiences with other poles collapsing under my full weight. So a friend let me borrow his and these poles didn't collapse once with full weight on them. Finality got my own pair, amazing!

These trekking poles performed great in Wrangle Mountains Alaska. Saved my butt many times.

I got these and the adapter for the center pole of the tent. They worked great, super stable. Nice and light. Would recommend.

I love the design of having threading in the handles to allow them to be attached together to serve as a tent center pole or tarp shelter pole. I love that the threading is the same pattern as Vortex's opics adapters which allows one pole to be turned into a very quick, easy, and lightweight option for glassing. I love that there's also a shooting stick adapter for the same reason. My only gripes:
- For the price ($165 is a LOT for trekking poles IMO), the adapter to allow them to be threaded together should be included and should not be $20 more.
- The poles wobble/rattle noticeably more than my $80 REI Trailmade aluminum poles when hiking on rough terrain. Granted, the Argali's are substantially lighter, but at $165, my standards are higher.
- I'm sure part of the reason these are $165 is the hybrid aluminum/carbon construction. In my opinion, with the carbonX poles already existing, this is unnecessary. These should just be aluminum and be cheaper.

Excellent! Took these on a 10 day backcountry elk hunt and they were amazing. Tons of deadfall, water crossings and very steep terrain put these poles through their paces and they preformed excellent.

Super lightweight and hold up well to hard hiking in the back country on rocky terrain

Very high quality product!

Amazing quality with the multipurpose that the hunters need. I saved up a year to buy it. Worth every penny. Can't wait til the elk opener.

Got these for my son and to compare against my peax poles.. this are right up there with quality and fit, light, pack down nice, and functional, well done argali

These hiking poles that I purchased from you are an upgrade from the ones I've had for over 10 years that I bought from REI Great polls plus optional when I buy the tent from you guys and the titanium stove they'll come in handy too.

I fought having trekking poles for a long time. My buddy convinced me before our elk hunt this year, and I can't believe the difference they made. The toggles on these are mildly finicky, but that is the worst I can say. Well built, super functional. flexible in various situations. Won't head into the back country without them.

I absolutely love these sticks. I have shared them with a hunting buddy and he is now ordering himself a pair. Highly recommend.

Great set of poles would've been nice if it came with a bag

Put almost 100 miles on them so far and helped me navigate through serious terrain and heavy pack outs.

I purchased the Guide X Trekking Poles to use mainly for elk hunting and I am so glad I did. These trekking poles preformed great and were a life saver as I would have probably went down a couple of times without them when I packing out elk.

Poles are easy to adjust, durable and a lifesaver for hiking. Whether on a nature walk or hunting adventure, these poles will save you precious energy. Also helped maintain my balance and simply very practical. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for solid light poles.

Awesome trekking poles! Used them for a 9 day hunt in Montana and had zero issues. Lightweight, comfortable and the adjustments were easy to tighten and never budged.

Just used these on a hunting trip in a mountainous wilderness area. They are not cheap, but I didn't want junk, and they performed. I am 6'2" and packed a really heavy ruck on my trip in nasty terrain, and the poles did great. The tightening/snapping levers at the joints are better than any other poles I have used, and the aluminum bottom section is definitely a wise move for durability. Some other folks on here were not pleased with the straps- but they fit me fine and are functional, and I wear XL or XXL gloves... so while I appreciate Argali keeping it real and leaving real reviews posted that have legit feedback, I don't see any issues with the straps, unless maybe you are 6'6"/350? Good gear, thanks Argali.👍🏽

I fell down Hills, I fell on top of these, I did everything that should have destroyed these poles and they're still going. Elk hunting in Alberta in some of the roughest terrain I've ever been in!!! Could not be happier..

They are amazing light and strong. Highly recommend them to anyone.
