Black Diamond Syncro Elliptic Trekking Pole

Black Diamond Syncro Elliptic Trekking Pole

Rating for this product: 2 September 30, 2009

while these poles worked great for the first few hundred miles or so, after a while the bottom section with the "binary" locks come apart. At first it only happens getting the pole stuck in mud or deep, wet snow - the pulling up motion pulls the pole out of the binary locking device. after a while it gets worse and they'll come out when getting hung up on even the slightest root or rock. this becomes really inconvenient. A friend that i go hiking with has the same poles and suffers from the same problem. He tried gluing the pole back into the locking device, but it eventually works itself loose.
My advice - the black diamond poles with flick lock locking device on both the top and bottom sections is the way to go. i haven't had any problems with the flick lock portion of the pole.
