Will 24.5 inches fit the carry plan?
The listed folded size gives backpack, vehicle, and between-trail storage a concrete dimension to compare. It does not replace checking the actual pack sleeve or side pocket.
Carry, Reach, Route Fit
For buyers comparing walking sticks for hiking and deciding where to buy trekking poles, the TrailBuddy pair turns folded size, extension, lock style, and grip material into practical route decisions.

Three Fast Decisions
The most useful first questions are not only “how light?” or “how strong?” They are how the poles travel, how far they reach, and how quickly they can be adjusted on the route.
The listed folded size gives backpack, vehicle, and between-trail storage a concrete dimension to compare. It does not replace checking the actual pack sleeve or side pocket.
The maximum extension is useful for an upper-limit comparison, but the complete working range and preferred length for climbs or descents still need to match the user.
Lever locks, cork handles, and padded straps speak to adjustment and hand contact. They should be read alongside gloves, rain, fatigue, and how often the poles are redeployed.

Specification To Use
A good trekking-pole comparison keeps length, packability, hand contact, and set quantity in separate lanes.

Route And Activity Fit
The same specification can answer a different question depending on whether the poles stay extended, move between walking and running, or travel inside a pack.
For regular hiking, focus on the relationship between adjustable reach, grip feel, route grade, and the surfaces you expect to cross.
Look at: length, lock handling, tip setupWhen pace changes, folded size and redeployment become more noticeable than a generic “lightweight” label.
Look at: folding behavior, carry position, quick adjustmentSnow, mud, and long pack approaches make tip accessories, folded dimensions, and route preparation part of the equipment conversation.
