These are the very first poles that i have owned and they definately made an excellent first impression. The price was reasonable and they are very sturdy not to mention the fact that they are very lightweight. I was on an 9 hour long hike in germany on various terrain ranging from rocks to dirt, uphill, downhill and they felt comfortable in the hands as well as a sense of security as far as balance goes. These poles were absolutely lightweight yet so sturdy you hardly notice they're there. two thumbs up great buy.
