The best poles I have tried so far

These poles are really nice. I second what other people have said about the grips. They work great for ascending and descending because you can slide your hands so far up and down. The locking mechanism is vastly supirior to twist lock types in easy of adjustment, and locking ability. I have noticed that the grip can mark my hands black after a long hard hike, but it easily washes off. I have had no problems with durabilty yet. So far these are my favorite poles I have used or seen.
