My wife and I walk every day regardless of the weather. These polls help both of us navigate over snow and ice or when rain makes walking difficult. It's wonderful having these polls to count on and keep us moving.
I'm confident that if a slip does occur we will be able to maintain our balance using this wonderful equipment.

Do not recommend if you expect antishock
By Land Trust from Swanzey, NH on 12/15/2007
Pros:
Easy to adjust, Good grips
Best Uses:
Car Camping, Day trip, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
What Is Your Gear Style:
Comfort Driven
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I was greatly disappointed. Bought to replace my broken Titanal Contour air-shock. Unbalanced. The swing weight (i.e., weighted toward ends not handles) puts strain on my wrists. Worst is the antishock: I felt negligible difference between on and off. I'd rather spend more money and get comfortable poles.

Pros:
Good grips, Lightweight
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking

Avid Adventurer, Professional Guide
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
The set I purchased replaces the set that was stolen, together with my Honda CRV.
I purchased the original set in approximately 2000 and used them without fail whenever I hiked, including, for example, the Milford Track in New Zealand. The second day of the three-day hike includes a wicked down hill for approximately three miles if I remember correctly. I would have been in pure agony on that part if I did not have them.

Cons:
Softer cork than LEKI
Best Uses:
Backpacking, Hiking
Describe Yourself:
Casual/ Recreational
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Anti-shock is "On" or "Off" with a quick twist off the pole. Cork grips are softer than I had anticipated. Maybe not a bad thing though. Time will tell how they hold up.
