Not Impressed

By Erich Knaak Ranked #314 - Trekking Poles December 9, 2008

These may be good poles and I just don't know it. I have used others but these are the first I've owned. My main issue with these is how difficult they are to adjust and the fact that they don't lock all the time. When it's raining or if your hands are really cold it's difficult to tighten them enough to keep them adjusted properly. Maybe I'm just weak. On a 5 mile decent I'll have to stop to readjust at least two or three times. For the price I expect more. If they get wet make sure you dry them off before collapsing them. Even if you don't use them and it's cold. The condensation will cause corrosion in a heartbeat. The shock absorption is a very nice feature. I'll be replacing these poles in the next couple of months.
