Lock type and packed length matter more than the shaft material · review
PINUQUEST telescopic aluminum poles, 63–135 cm (24.8 to 53.1 in), 260 g per pole review
A telescopic aluminum pair with cork grips, a very wide range and a stated per-pole weight for both the aluminum and carbon versions — and no lock type and no packed length.
A pair of telescopic poles in stated aluminum, adjusting steplessly from 63 to 135 cm (24.8 to 53.1 in), with cork grips, a soft grip extension, extra-soft straps, four pairs of terrain attachments and a carry bag. Stated at 260 g (9.2 oz) per pole in aluminum, with a carbon version stated at 210 g (7.4 oz) per pole.
Two materials, two honest figures
Most listings that offer a choice quote one weight. This one quotes both, per pole, and lets the title say which version a reference is. That is the right way to publish it.
The range
63 to 135 cm, against stated heights of roughly 95 to 200 cm. It is a wide span, and the poles are sold for children, adults and older walkers on that basis.
The two things it will not say
No lock type. Stepless adjustment is stated and the mechanism behind it is never named. External levers can be tightened in the field; twist locks are the usual source of a pole that creeps shut under load. This listing does not let you tell them apart.
No packed length. A bag is supplied and its contents are not measured. Whether these travel inside hold luggage is unknown from the page.
Before ordering
Ask for the collapsed length if it matters to you. On a telescopic pole with a 63 cm (24.8 in) minimum the answer is likely to be generous, and this listing will not confirm it.
Availability
The American Amazon catalog lists it with no seller standing behind the entry.

What it does well, and where it gives way
Strengths
Publishes a per-pole weight for both versions it sells, 260 g (9.2 oz) in aluminum and 210 g (7.4 oz) in carbon, so the material choice can be costed in grams
Cork grips with a soft grip extension below the head, which is what you hold on a traverse
A stated 63–135 cm (24.8 to 53.1 in) range, quoted against heights of roughly 95 to 200 cm (37.4 to 78.7 in)
Compromises
No lock type named at all, on a telescopic pole where the lock is the whole specification
No packed length, so whether the poles fit a case cannot be established before they arrive
No section count, which on a telescopic pole with a 63 cm (24.8 in) minimum is the figure that explains the range

What people ask before buying
Which weight applies to this reference?
The title names this one as aluminum, and the maker states 260 g (9.2 oz) per pole for aluminum and 210 g (7.4 oz) for carbon. Both figures are published; this page carries the aluminum figure as the one that belongs to this reference and reports the other alongside it.
Why does a grip extension matter?
On a traverse or a short steep section, you hold below the head rather than resetting the length. A soft extension is what makes that comfortable, and this listing states one. It is a detail three other listings in this hub also carry and most do not describe.
Does PINUQUEST publish a lock mechanism?
No. Not published on the listing — the poles are stated to adjust steplessly, and no lever, twist or push-button lock is named. What the listing does publish instead is the weight per pole: 260 g (9.2 oz) per pole for the aluminum version — stated; the maker also states 210 g (7.4 oz) per pole for the carbon version, and the title names this reference as aluminum.
Our score
7.8/ 10
Cork, a long range and an honest weight for each material. Then no lock and no packed length, which are the two things a telescopic pole is bought on.
The buyer this one serves, among camping gear
A household of mixed heights where a cork grip and a long grip extension matter, and the poles travel on the outside of a pack.
What buyers actually choose
Amazon reports what buyers took in the month before this page was last checked: at least 50.
The figure is a floor, rounded by Amazon, and read through Keepa — it says what buyers picked, not what a maker claims.
