I just picked up a set as a last minute item prior to a 3-day winter summit up Pikes Peak. I expected to use the small 3-pc compact size for my pack, but I kept them out the entire time; they were exceptional for my knees getting down. The locks just worked, and worked very well. The poles are expandable to just about any length one would want; quite compact, very sturdy and reasonably priced.
