The wading staff is lightweight and easy to adjust. The cork handle stays firm even when wet. I’ve used it in rocky streams and it holds up well under pressure. The quick-release strap is a nice safety feature.
Virginia Allan –
Great for wading in strong currents. The carbon fiber is solid and doesn’t bend easily. The length adjustment is smooth and the grip is comfortable. Slight improvement would be in the balance point, but overall very reliable.

I’ve used this staff for several days in the Pacific Northwest. It’s durable, responsive, and the FastLock system makes it easy to set to the perfect height. The neoprene sheath protects it well when stored.
