Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Shock Trekking Pole
Heavy, but durable

This is not a delicate pole... after a disappointing experience with a set of Leki's I tried these puppies out. I wish they offered a cork grip, but the locking mechanism is glove friendly and reliable... unlike the Leki's... the poles are strong and durable. Whether you're using them to hold up a Kiva shelter or you while you're crossing a stream, they will stay exactly where you set them.
