I bought these poles recently and I have loved them since the day I got them. I have taken them on many hikes through many different terrain. From the simple day hike to the overnight/multi-day hike. The shock absorbtion is like none other and they compact down to a very small size, so I can even fit them in my pack if I wanted to. There is no pogoing effect of other poles I have tried out, which is a plus. Also, the flick locks provide the ease of adjustment without turning the pole itself and worrying about it slipping cause you didn't twist it close all the way. The grips and the padded straps provide more then enough comfort and fit the shape of my hand perfectly. I have no complaints about this product at all!! For the money, it is worth getting!!!!!

Well had my eyes on these since they came out, so I said what the heck buy the best and see if it worth the hype. Guess what they are! took these stunning and yes they do look great also on a 7 mile trek. First t took some getting use to how very light they are! very quiet no sound at all! the perfect feel on the hand , these are a must in your backing arsenal . These are amazing on hard ,cold soft ,water ,mud ,rocks etc etc. The wrist straps work so good you can leave them on and snug them tight in one motion! What else needs to be said if you have the means I must say do it!

GOT THESE TODAY TRADED UP! WENT ON A TUFF 7MILE HIKE ON THE POWERLINES, VERY LIGHT FANTASTIC GRIPS, REALLY THE BEST OF THE POLES!!! GOING AGAIN FRIDAY I LOVE TREK POLES!!!
