**Nice folding cane with quad tip, sizing might be a problem**
TL/DR: This is a pretty good cane, however it is probably not going to fit a lot of women. There are some other things I wouldn't mind seeing some improvement on, but it will do the job if it fits you.
Pros:
o Quad tip
o Wrist strap
o Integrated flashlight
Cons:
o Lowest setting at 33.5" is a little higher than I'd like - 32" is more reasonable.
o Flashlight doesn't have auto turn-off
o No carrying case
o No strap or clamp for folding up
o No option for single tip
This is a pretty generic folding cane that comes in two solid colors. It's listed as a men's cane, and while there is little to distinguish which gender a cane belongs to, I believe the sizing on this is going to work better for men. At maximum extension it's well over 37", but it only goes down to about 34". That means it's roughly good for people of height 5'8" to 6'4". Pretty good coverage for men, but there are a lot of women under that size, so let's agree this is for men only.
The cane comes with a quad tip, which is great, there are many people who need the additional stability this offers. If it was up to me every cane sold would have both tips and let you switch from one to the other as desired. This guy doesn't have that option, so it's a bit of a negative.
I'd like to see a nice way to hold the cane in the folded position. It ships with a plastic bracket holding it in place, but it's not easy to put on, and I don't think it was intended for use after shipping. So if you fold it up and put it in a backpack, when you take it out you run the risk of a lot of spontaneous unfolding.
The flashlight is a nice bonus. It points straight ahead, and while it's not bright enough to light up your path, it definitely will help to make you a little more visible at night. More importantly, it will help with unlocking the door to your house or car. Just remember to turn it off when done, there's no automatic timeout on the thing.
This is a good cane, and if you are aware of the minor shortcomings, you should be happy with it.
