Finally a pole that doesn't slip. Removing that weird twist-lock pole has been a nice change of pace. My girlfriend and I day-hiked Mt. Whitney on July 1st and her twist lock poles gave out about dozen times and she was cursing a storm. However, my trusty new flip-lock poles never had a problem. Pay a few more bucks for these poles and another gear headache is solved.
