Pleased with these poles.

Ranked #730 - Trekking Poles

I used these poles on a hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon in January and was quite pleased with them. They do seem to have a low swing weight and I was very glad I had them. I tried a fellow hiker's Black Diamond poles and preferred these. The only thing I can think of to improve them would be an integrated camera screw mount on one of them for use as a monopod, and maybe the ability to adjust the wrist straps more tightly. But overall, I'd buy these poles again. Adjustments were easy yet secure. In fact, they were easily able to support my entire weight (180 pounds with pack) without slipping.
