Life-Link Guide Ultra Light Trekking Poles - 1 Pair
Great poles, but shorter & heavier than spec
By Pete S
Ranked #696 - Trekking Poles
August 1, 2005
These poles are 48" long max, not 49" as advertised. They weigh 16.4 ounces, not 14 ounces as advertised.
I talked to Life-Link, and they acknowledged that this is all true. So why don't they change their ad copy?
49" is a tad short for me, but I was going to try and make it do. But 48" is definitely too short, so I am sad.
Other than that, they are truly great poles, perhaps the best there is.
