MOUNTAIN YOYO “DISCOVERY 6061” Flip Lock Light Weight Walking / Trekking Poles Review

The MOUNTAIN YOYO “DISCOVERY 6061” Flip Lock Light Weight Walking / Trekking Poles are exactly like the Mountaintop Retractable trekking poles— they are cheap, fairly light, and you won’t cry when you break them. If you’re a serious hiker, investigate the higher quality poles and save these for your “leave in the car” set. They are the same 3-section telescopic pole and a fail safe “one second” flip locking mechanism. Each pole can be extended to any length from 18.6 to 40.5 inches in length. The poles are made of Aviation Aluminium Alloy 6061 and each pole weighs right under 9.5oz (270g). Overall, it seems like they copied the Mountaintop Retractable poles to the finest detail.
