Rank #3 in Best Walking Poles 2026: 10 Ranked, Per-Pole Weights Checked
Trekology TREK-Z Foldable Trekking Poles, 100-135 cm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Trekology TREK-Z is a folding walking pole: three sections, an aluminium shaft, a flip-lock height adjuster with a metal stopper, and a grip the listing calls a 'cork colored EVA foam grip'. It takes third place in our guide to walking poles at £33.99, with a 4.4 average from around 7,800 ratings and a best sellers rank of 4th in Trekking Poles.
The finding on this listing is in the numbers. The spec table's Item Weight field reads 330 g, which is 11.6 oz. The bullet in the same listing puts each pole at 10.4 oz (294 g) for the 100-120 cm version and 10.8 oz (306 g) for the 115-135 cm version, then describes the pole as 'just under 11 oz per pole'. The grip shows the same pattern: the spec table's Handle Material field says Cork, while the first bullet says cork-coloured EVA foam. Everything on this page, including the price and the rating, is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not weighed or handled these poles ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“Just retuned from a week hiking in the Dolomites and these poles really stood up to the challenge. Really impressed with the ease of clicking everything into place, setting the correct height, and the different foot types and carry bag. I wanted aluminium so it would withstand a few knocks and they've certainly had a few of those over the past week. The poles gave me a lot of confidence when navigating loose scree on the way down and helped me distribute weight for extra supposed on the way up. Very good value for money. Also, very comfortable and felt sturdy.”
Verified purchase“Great poles. Quick to assemble/put away, light to carry. I have taken these on several hikes and they are very sturdy. Cork handles are brilliant. Very good value for money. I am 5.6 and 100-120cm are the perfect size.”

Questions people ask
Are the Trekology TREK-Z poles sold as a pair?
Yes. The spec table lists 'Number of Items: 2' and 'Included Components: 2 Trekking Poles'. One field in the same table reads 'Unit Count: 1 unité', so the table contradicts itself, but the price and the bullets describe a pair.
How much does one Trekology TREK-Z pole weigh?
It depends which line you read. The spec table's Item Weight field says 330 g, which is 11.6 oz. The bullet gives 10.4 oz (294 g) per pole for the 100-120 cm version and 10.8 oz (306 g) for the 115-135 cm version, then calls it 'just under 11 oz per pole'.
Are the Trekology TREK-Z handles cork?
The spec table's Handle Material field reads Cork. The first bullet describes a 'cork colored EVA foam grip', which is a different material, so the listing carries both versions of the claim.
What heights are the Trekology TREK-Z poles for?
The size field gives 100-120 cm for users from 4'11" to 5'10", and a 115-135 cm option is listed for taller users. Both use the flip-lock system with a metal stopper and a 20 cm adjustment range.
How short do the Trekology TREK-Z poles pack down?
Both the bullet and the spec table give a folded size of 38 cm (15 inches). The bullets also note that TSA does not permit trekking poles as airline carry-on, so they are for checked luggage.
What does the Trekology TREK-Z come with?
The 'Included Components' field lists 2 Trekking Poles. The bullets also mention the flip-lock system, the metal lock caps at the joints and the EVA foam grips.
