They've done good | |

| I've had these for quite awhile but only use them when I really need poles as I'm not a big fan of them, but do like them for long up hill sections. They have held up great through some pretty nast use though. Only problem is the "shock absorber" on one no longer shuts off. I don't even notice when they are on or off (other then the squeek) anyway, so no big deal. | |

Good Enough | |

| I've used these poles for approximately a year now and been fine with them. People have complained in the past about them collapsing easily, but I never had a problem with this. It seems more likely that people were not tightening them properly. Adjusting can be tricky at first until you get used to them... to tighten I found that if you provided a little bit of pressure transverse to the screw direction it helped... otherwise you might not be catching the threads inside. For the average person these poles will do fine... They are a decent weight and fairly adjustable. I've used them on dirt, mud, in streams, on hard-pack ice, and on granite and never had an issue with slipping. My only complaints are that they become difficult to adjust when wet (i.e. rain) and are a bit long even when compacted down (made them difficult to take on the airplane). | |
