So-so trekking poles

By Backcountry.com Employee December 18, 2006

I wouldn't buy these again. I've had quite a bit of trouble keeping them locked, which is pretty annoying when you're carrying a heavy pack up a steep trail. When they are working, I don't have any complaints about the weight, comfort, or stability they provide. They work well on rocky terrain and they absorb a majority of the shock.
