The best Leki poles made thus far Jul 07, 2009
By Harry M. Shin
1. This is around my 5th pair of trekking poles over the years and this is the best thus far.
2. Pros:
* Obviously very light, the lightest they make.
* Compact (this is helpful when packing for a trip).
* Once locked--> it seems to be very solid with no slippage)
* The positive angle grip is a must.
3. Cons:
* The older Leki poles seemed to have a greater positive angle on the grip; I wish this pole had the same degree of angle (perhaps it's just my imagination but this seems to be the case).
* I know that the newer poles have the "advancement" of needing a few twists to lock it into place. However, in the end, without coming to a stop, you never know if you twisted the pole enough--> if not, you'll plant your pole into the ground and realize that you need to tighten it up some more etc... which in the end wastes time.
4. There's no perfect pole, but this is the best made thus far. Highly recommended.

Great Poles Jan 28, 2011
By David J. Osborne
"DaveO"
I've used single poles for over 40 years, and about a year ago I decided to try hiking with a pair. There's a great advantage in using a pair of poles, and I've liked these particular poles very much.
They have a strong but light feel and great balance in their swing, and the grips and straps are comfortable without gloves. I appreciate being able to adjust their length, although I found a nice length rather early in my use of them and I've stuck with that. I think I'll especially appreciate their adjustability this summer as I switch to a super lightweight tarp tent with these poles as the tent poles. I'm getting older, and I've gone crazy buying the latest lightweight gear ... and these poles will survive my lightweight obession because they're tough and almost as light as the newest stuff on the market, and I trust them. I've been able to beat these poles up and I've never felt I was ever close to breaking them. They have lovely battle scars after much high country rock grabbing on class 3 hikes ... when I've needed a handhold instead of a pole plant I've just let loose of the grips and let the poles bounce along by their wrist straps, and they don't hinder my reach even then.
I know carbon can shatter, but you'd have to sit on these like a swing seat with their ends on rocks. Do that to aluminum poles, and you'll have useless poles then too.
A pair of poles can't be considered additional weight because they add so much physical efficiency. Now I use my whole upper body for propulsion, and wow, did I ever build some tough shoulder and torso muscles. I use the poles like push-poles uphill and like brakes downhill. They take a great amount of work off my poor old (but still glamorous) knees and legs. ;-).
My only criticism is that about once a week on the trail a pole length-setting joint will have worked itself loose and will impolitely shorten itself when I plant it. That's annoying, but can be avoided. I've learned to check the tightness every day or so just to be sure, but I think now and then they'll still catch me absent minded and give me the slip. I'll forgive 'em.

By Anthony Phillips
Worked very well for my trip from the south rim to the Colorado River and back. No problems and very light. Service was excellent.
