I have taken these poles on nearly every adventure, especially ones involving an overnight pack, and I have found them to be quite durable and even indispensable at times. By the end of my journey to Sykes Hot Springs, I would not have been able to make the last stream crossing without them, and on many other occasions, I have completely relied on them for balance. At approximately $70, the value and build quality is right.
Best of all, they are very lightweight (18.2 ounces, aluminum) for poles in their class.
These poles are built to withstand most of the natural forces that you can possibly throw at it. I’m not saying to go throw these into a volcano, but I am saying that they’ll hold up in the snow, scree, you name it, and they’ll do it all while being your best friend. The flip lock feature is preferable and more sturdy than screw types, in my opinion, because I’ve seen screw joints loosen and even break. I speak highly of these poles not in vain or for profit. I have traveled with them in many different conditions on both coasts, over countless mountains and streams. I’ve used other poles more than a few times and am no stranger, having been on downhill skiing and cross-country race teams. I’ve also used other brands of hiking poles, and I like these.
The upper cork and lower foam handles are a very nice option for different hand configurations for uphill and downhill climbs. For example, I like to lengthen my poles for downhills and grip the foam lower handles more lightly for balance and for bracing impacts. My hand position is completely different for uphill climbs, where I use the cork handles to dig in and grab traction. Straps are attached to the top of the handle; loose or tight is purely subjective and preferential, but I like to keep blood flowing to my hands.
This set of poles comes with baskets (the plastic snowflake that sits a few inches above the tip) for skiing, which are also removable.
Again, I’m not making a profit here (though I really should!) but don’t take my word for it, check out reviews on REI.com (also not a paid endorsement):
