not so hot

By mic4661433 Ranked #134 - Trekking Poles July 27, 2011

I think that when these poles work, they are adequate, possibly even great, but, the parts involved in allowing for the anti-shock, the process of loosening and tightening, a 10cent plastic part strips easily, creating a situation in which the pole is utterly useless. Mine crapped out on me while hiking with a buddy using some dimestore specials, suffice it to say that is embarassaing. The upside is that the replacement poles, simple Black Diamond Trail Treking Poles simply feel superior in every possible weigh, except for weight and the 3 gentlemen that handled the various processes of returning and exchanging were easy to work with. I forgot to mention, I had them for only 2 months.
