Great poles for assisted walking
Bought these polls to aid in daily walking due to a disability. I needed poles that are light, adjustable,highly stable to catch me when I stumble and easy packing when not in use. These poles work perfectly, look great and are extremely comfortable. Easy to exchange carbon tips for rubber ones for road use. Great all way around. Hope they will last me a long time.

Beautiful poles
These are my first trekking poles (yes, I've needed them but never prioritized buying). I did my research and finally purchased these. They are aesthetic, high-quality, easy to adjust, and fit my small hands well. Some handles I've tested were way too big or otherwise not ergonomic for small hands, but these feel perfect. Can't wait to test these out on the local terrain soon! (Denver CO)

So far so good
I know BD makes excellent poles and that the carbon ones stand up well, having put many many thru hiking miles on a pair of Distance Carbon z-poles. I bought these ones for the comfy grip and well built strap; plus adjustability for using a trekking pole tent. Of course it's winter here and I'm using only ski poles so I have not tried them yet! Ask me again in a year. One downside I have noticed is that they don't fasten closed at their shortest position. Not a problem when in use, but it could be an issue when putting them in a bag for air travel. And they're longer when closed down than the Z poles.

Great!
Great hiking poles. The locking mechanism is secure, and the poles have not slipped when putting all my weight in them. They’re also very light.

Satisfied owner for 11 years
Bought the Alpine Carbon Fiber poles in 2012 for trip to Yellowstone. My best half could not believe how much I spent yet I was infatuated with the light weight and feel of the handles. Fast forward… these have survived hiking all over North America in various terrain and temperatures. I absolutely love the cork handles as my hands don’t uncomfortably sweat and cork still feels like new! Although the carbon doesn’t seem much lighter than aluminum initially, one might question the lightness for strength, you would be mistaken. Any hiking for distance with or without a load, you will not regret the extra cost. I recently had to call to replace lower arm, lost it from improperly mounting on a motorcycle returning from a remote trail. The technician “Joshua” was very informative and replacement part was a reasonable price. I ordered and had replacement in a week! After 11 years these poles are still in great condition. I would recommend these premium poles even considering the higher cost, if you plan on using extensively, using over less than ideal terrain or on warm days, cork & carbon are the way to go and don’t second guess yourself. See you on the trail!

Comfortable and Versatile
After being introduced to trekking poles on a night hike in the Great Sand Dunes National Park I did a lot of research before I purchased my first pair. I selected the Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork trekking poles. Now over ten years later hundreds of miles of hiking and backpacking, they have been one of my best investments. They have helped my knees and improved my stability as I age. They adjust easily for different conditions and are very durable/rugged. The carbide tips are long lasting. The rubber tips work well in Rocky or paved areas, and I’ve used the snow basket attachments too. The only downside is they cannot collapse as small as other options. Then too, other trekking poles can be lighter. But my wife recently borrowed my my trekking poles for a scenic hike with a friend and loved them. Now she wants her own set! I highly recommend.

Good poles, tricky advertisement
Poles seem great but the write up and name makes it sound like they come with the carbon tips and the snow baskets, but snow baskets are sold seperate. Heavier than other brands for the same price point as well
