How heavy are the poles?
334601
Let me just say that without going to physically weigh them, neither my wife nor I have ever found the weight to be a problem. Last weekend we walked with them for 2 hours. We walked faster, felt less tired and were totally energized using the poles. The weight was never an issue. They are lightweight.

I'm not sure what planet you all are from? Maybe some place where gravity is 2X that of Earth? So these might feel "light" to you, but I've got news for you, they are not extra light. They weigh about a pound each. The description even says that. I just got mine and they are really nice looking and solid, but they are NOT light. I've done multiple hikes in the past with other, more expensive poles that ARE light. Having said that, I'll give these a try since they appear solid and I was too cheap to buy the more expensive, LIGHT ones.

It is a simple good question. Could someone just weigh them on kitchen scales and let us know the facts?

Just an update to my own question. I got these poles from Amazon and I found them a bit heavy for my liking. I wanted to weigh them, but my scale is broken. I am returning the poles I got. I had tried a set of poles from REI before that weighed just 0.9lbs (very light) and I might have been biased. The poles from REI were of course 3 times more expensive.

I'm an avid hiker with many lightweight, expensive pole sets. Sacheen, I thank you for asking this exceedingly simple question. I'm rather saddened to see opinion answers ("They're not too heavy to me?") to a quantitative question. I am sorry that you actually had to purchase them to find that they are too heavy. I believe you. Sorry too that your scale was broken at the time, and no one else seems to have simply placed these on a small gram/ounce scale to get an actual weight. Thanks again, Sacheen, for saving me from buying these. I'm willing to pay more for high performance, lightweight poles for my Nordic walking/hikes of up to 20 miles a day.

I found the poles to be extremely light and sturdy. They have worked well on all my hikes. I am very pleased with my purchase and would purchase them again when needed. I have no complaints or disappointments with the hiking poles.

I don't know exactly, but I don't feel weight. I am happy to hike with poles every Saturday.

not heavy at all. just put them on the scale for you, they weight 1# for both of them. they fold up beautifully so you can take them anywhere. the only thing they could have eliminated was the little compass on top, but if you need to know n,s,e,w, i guess they are good but do not know exactly how accurate it is, but its a plus.

We use them for a leaf that we have for our Kitchen Island.They seem to be pretty strong..I would think about a 100 pounds or more.

Actually, they are very heavy. But that's okay with me because they are very solid, not cheap or flimsy.

I haven't measured them, but I used them with vinyl records, and the poles fit perfectly into the record holes. Obviously records are really light, but I think the hardware could hold decently heavy plates. I mean, I wouldn't try lead or solid gold, but anything ceramic or plastic or even lighter metal should be totally fine.

They are metal. This makes the overall tent pretty heavy. They are linked by thin coated metal cables. Unless you bend the poles beyond repair, they seem like they will hold up.

I'm not sure of the weight but the pole is very sturdy. Much better than those sold at places such as Walmart. I am very pleased with mine.

They are not too heavy! They seem to have done the job for us on our hunting trips. Hope that this helps!

About a pound for both poles, extremely light weight and practical for the price.

It weight between 2 - 3 pounds. Please be advise that you Cannot use them as "walking sticks".

i wouldn't say they're weighted, they're more like resistant with a somewhat heavy feel.

They are not too heavy. Sturdy, but easy to pick up and move. Heavy enough that they don't blow around in the wind.

Not that heavy... I think it's made of aluminum metal. And they require assembly but it's pretty easy.

Have not weighed, but certainly not light. Much worse is that these are poor quality poles. The tip fill out after a few weeks of use, the handle broke after a few more weeks and when walking the poles pull apart if the tip sticks in soft soil. There are much better poles. Dont waste money on these.

Hello Roxann....no they are not heavy at all. Very sturdy. There is a heaviness in this regards as a quality product.

Not heavy at all. Maybe 50 pounds. Not to bad to get them out either, after they are filled with water and sand. Bouancy helps push them out, then I just slid them up onto the deck.

i think they were weighted 50 lbs? i forget. I didn't hang anything too heavy but they were fairly large D rings.
