First thing I noticed, with trekking poles in general, is how much stress was taken off my knees going up and down steep hills.

As for these Spires, I really appreciated the sturdiness, lightweight design. They also double for my tent poles with the nemo meta 2p. Adjusting is quick, easy, and flawless - a new companion to my backpacking experience.
