Excellent poles

I bought a pair of these poles this summer for a great price from BC. I use one all the time now. The foam grip is very comfortable and hasn't caused any hand blisters with many miles of use, even in very hot, sweaty weather.

The wrist strap is really comfortable and can be adjusted quickly with a simple tug on the top or bottom strap, whether you want to loosen or tighten the strap.

The flick locks worked perfectly right out of the box. They have never slipped and I have used them for some major steep canyon trail descents and ascents, and frequent water crossings--just set it and forget it. I also like the numbered length markers on the poles, so when they are collapsed for the ride home, they can quickly be reset to the right length the next time I use them. Plus, they collapse really small too.

The carbide tips grip very well, expecially on hard rock, slick rock and sandstone--I was really surprised and impressed with how stable and secure these poles are in all kinds of terrain and conditions.

I don't have any negatives with these poles at all, I am very satisfied with the price, quality and function of these excellent trekking poles.
