Quit whining, ACL.

By ROB WEINSTEIN Ranked #109 - Trekking Poles May 29, 2011

Bought these after I was cleared from my latest knee surgery. Absolutely saved my knee's. Knocked out 12+ miles with these things and couldn't even tell I didn't have any meniscus left.

I feel like I'm not completely sure-footed when I'm hiking over rocky trails...so I tend to look down a lot. It's hard to enjoy nature if you're stuck looking at your next step. This pole helps give the support needed to be able to look up.

Aside from the fantastic impact-absorbing shock, I feel like the flick-lock mechanism is miles ahead the system that Leki uses. I wouldn't trade these for any other pole out there.
