Personal Opinion:
I’ve had a really good experience with this stick. I find it very quick to open out and slot to the correct height; then when folded down it is secured by a plastic strap and can fit easily into a bag for life/reasonably sized handbag. The wrist strap is particularly useful and prevents me from dropping it as much as I did when using sticks without a wrist strap. I’ve found it to be very stable, something I wasn’t expecting from a folding stick. and the ferrule on the bottom is nice and sturdy with good grip, even when walking on grass.

The stick comes in various colours/patterns which is nice, plus it’s made of aluminium which means it’s fairly light to carry around and very easy to clean. It’s very reliable and especially useful on days out where I might not need my stick to begin with, but could need it later on in the day – as I can just pop it in my bag and get on with my day!
