DOBESTS folding poles, 110–130 cm review

A folding 7075 aluminum pair that publishes a packed length, a range, a height guide and a per-pole weight — and never says what locks it.

What this listing puts on record

A pair of folding poles in stated 7075 aluminum, adjusting from 110 to 130 cm (43.3 to 51.2 in), folding to 36 cm (14.2 in) into a supplied bag, with ergonomic EVA grips, adjustable straps and attachments for asphalt, snow, mud, sand and stony ground. Stated at about 260 g (9.2 oz) per pole.

The figures that answer the fit questions

36 cm packed decides whether the poles travel inside a case. 110–130 cm decides whether they suit you, and the maker goes further than anyone else here by stating the range suits walkers of roughly 160 to 190 cm.

About 260 g per pole, stated per pole in so many words. That is the form the weight has to take: a per-pair figure cannot be compared with it directly.

The silence

Nothing in the title or the bullets names the lock. Folding poles typically use an internal cord and a push-button, and this listing describes a folding system without describing what holds it extended.

That is the single specification this category turns on, and it is missing.

What else is not published

No section count. No description of how the terrain attachments fix.

Before ordering

The maker advises checking all the closures and attachments before use, which is sensible on any pole. Note that it names none of them, so you will be checking parts the listing never introduced.

Availability

This product was not available to buy new on Amazon.com when we checked on October 31, 2026, so we show no US price. It is a listing for the European market.

What it does well, and where it gives way

Strengths

  • States a weight explicitly per pole, at about 260 g (9.2 oz), which is the form the figure has to take to be useful
  • Publishes a packed length of 36 cm (14.2 in) and a range of 110–130 cm (43.3 to 51.2 in) together, so both fit questions are answered
  • The listing states which walkers the range suits — roughly 160 to 190 cm (63 to 74.8 in) of height

Compromises

  • Never names the locking mechanism, which is the specification this category is decided on
  • No section count, on a folding pole where the count decides how it packs
  • 130 cm (51.2 in) is the top of the range, which is short for a tall walker on a descent

What people ask before buying

What kind of lock does it use?

The listing does not say. It states the poles fold to 36 cm (14.2 in) and adjust between 110 and 130 cm (51.2 in), and it names no lever, no twist collar and no push-button. That is a real gap, because this is the specification that decides whether a pole collapses under load.

Is 130 cm (51.2 in) long enough?

That depends on your height and on the descent, and the maker gives you something to work with: it states the range suits walkers of roughly 160 to 190 cm (63 to 74.8 in). That guidance is worth checking against your own height rather than against a rival maximum.

Does DOBESTS publish a lock mechanism?

No. Not published on the listing — the poles are described as folding and adjustable, and no lever, twist or push-button lock is named. What the listing does publish instead is the maximum length: 130 cm (51.2 in) — stated; the poles adjust from 110 cm (43.3 in), and the maker states the range suits walkers of roughly 160 to 190 cm (63 to 74.8 in).

Our score

7.8/ 10

A well-documented folding pole with the figures you fly with — 36 cm (14.2 in), 260 g (9.2 oz), a range and a height guide — and complete silence on the lock.
