Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I would never backpack without these babies! I noticed a lot of hikers in my Wilderness Basics Course had these poles. I hiked my first two weekends with a 40lb pack and had a hard time. I'm glad I budgeted for these poles because backpacking cross country was much easier and steadier with them. My knees are not as sore and my arms are getting a nice workout! I think I keep up better with the group with them. I think they're great for the money. Next time I will get the Women's titanium ones with the compass in the handle because they're even cooler.
