Personally, I don't really recommend it. The baton is solid, stiff, and effective, but you'll crush concrete before you manage to fold it. In this price range, it's actually worth it; its only downside is that you have to hit concrete or maybe some hard stump very hard, sometimes even several times, to get it to fold.

Lightning-fast delivery, everything from the store's side was perfect. As for the product, it's amazing for this price: solid, with the possibility to adjust the level of deployment difficulty by bending a small plate, you can more or less set at what force of swing the baton should open. Everything is described in the attached instructions. In my opinion, the most universal length, ideal in tight spaces, buses, trams, corridors, but also completely sufficient outdoors. I carry it in the pocket of my cargo pants, to not show it off but still have it at hand. The Velcro fastener opens quickly. I recommend it!

Very cool and useful thing. I bought it for my wife. She is happy with it. The baton is small and handy, it fits both in a handbag and under a jacket. Above all, it is small and solid. Maybe there is a problem with folding it, but that's just a matter of practice. I recommend it to girls!

Small, light, and durable. In the hands of a skilled person, it can serve as a very good self-defense tool. I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet; I hope I won't have to.

Simple, cheap, and solid telescopic baton. The set includes a nylon case that can be carried on a belt. To fold the baton, you need to hit its end against a hard surface. Worth recommending.
-
Workmanship at a 4+ level. The advantage of this baton is its size and weight. However, you do notice it "rattles" when folded, but after all, it costs less than 70 PLN, so what can you expect. The rubberized handle improves grip and fits nicely into the opening of the rotating holster, which costs another 40 PLN. Recommended product.
-
A very well-made baton, solid. Price-to-quality ratio is a big plus. The case is not as ergonomic, but still a positive. I recommend it, hope it won’t have to be used.

A very good choice for women due to the size. Compared to the two larger sizes, this one is very easy to use and doesn't require much physical preparation. In direct comparison, the 62 cm size turned out to be far too long and not very stable for a woman. I recommend this small size as well as the 52 cm for "amateurs," for people who want to have something like this but don't care much about training and prior preparation. The purchase is definitely worth considering. At first glance, it's too small, but that's not a flaw. Small size is a huge advantage. Highly recommend after physical contact with three different models.

A decent and solid baton. I hope I never have to use it, but in today's times it's worth keeping something like this handy. For me, it landed in the shoulder bag from Helikon (11l). It opens without any problems. Ideal length for everyday carry. Holster also seems solid and allows fastening to the belt.

GS hardened telescopic baton 16" Rubber Black—in this price range, one of the best telescopic batons, looks good and sits well in the hand, handy thanks to the additional case.
-
The baton is solidly made and presents high quality for its price. It comes with a durable and practical holster, which works well for both transport and storage. Its small size allows convenient attachment to a belt and easy concealment under clothes. The extending mechanism works smoothly and reliably, which can be crucial in emergency situations. Thanks to its compact dimensions when folded, the baton can be worn discreetly without any problem. It's a well thought out, practical set that is definitely worth considering. Recommend.

Good quality telescopic baton, it's hard to close and you really have to use force to close it, it's well made. I added the GS glass breaker for telescopic batons: https://militaria.pl/p/zbijak-do-szyb-gs-do-palek-teleskopowych-14896

Quality-wise, a well-made baton. The handle construction is a bit flimsy compared to the photo. Still, it sits well in the hand. Opens and closes like any average telescopic baton. Doesn’t jam, doesn’t bend. For the average person, worth recommending.

I bought the baton for the first time. It meets expectations. Opens and folds without problems. Visually, I also have no complaints. It fits well in the hand, which allows for confident use. I recommend it.

A good quality baton for this price. The holster for storing and carrying the baton is also solid and durable. Its compact size is perfect for attaching to a belt and covering with a shirt.
