poles should be essential hiking equipment

I never go hiking without these. Adjustable height over a wide range,
comfortable grips, relatively light, and very strong. Yes, you can get
lighter poles, but will you trust them with your weight plus your pack's
weight, in tricky positions, getting stuck among rocks?
Note: this review is for the version _without_ the anti-shock. I'd
recommend those instead: I prefer the solid feel and slight weight
savings.
