I’ve used a bunch. Currently prefer Leki carbon poles.

+1 on Leki, and if your a muzz/rifle hunter get the Quick Stix attachments. Makes a fast solid rest for kneeling and prone shots depending on the angle without additional weight ( like 2 oz probably )

Leki Vario carbon. Mine collapse down to about 12"-16" and fit in my backpack side pockets. Most other models are good, too. Just make sure the grips fit your palm comfortably.

Leki CorkLite here. I've used and destroyed many trekking poles in the past, but this Leki just keeps coming back for more.

The cascade ones at Costco are actually really nice and they are affordable.

Leki Mahalu Lite.
Leki offers awesome customer service too!! They’ve replaced broken parts multiple times. They earned my business for good.

Got a pair of REI brand. Cork handles.
They work well. Physical Therapist told me I needed to use them.
Had a cheap pair previously from Cabela's. They work, but are not as nice.

Yep- been using mine for many years on hunts and long hikes/trail runs and they have held up very well for $25 or whatever I paid for them.
