Black Diamond Trail Trekking Pole
Handles a bit large

Ranked #308 - Trekking Poles
January 6, 2010
I have a pair of BD trekking poles and my wife liked using them so I thought I'd get her a pair of her own. These were fine - except: the handles were larger diameter than my previous poles and the padding on the straps added to the diameter. (This is assuming you're using the straps correctly and not just sticking your hands through them.) This made quite a wad for my wife's small hands. Otherwise the poles are fine.
