Seems to have good non-slip on many wet surfaces, esp stadium treads.

By stefrrr from Florida on 08/14/2008 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend These poles are for an upcoming 3 week trip. I've used them around the neighborhood a bit, and the grips are very comfortable. The way the adjustments work is pretty cool and feels very secure. It comes with summer baskets. They're a little tricky to get on, then nearly impossible (well, completely impossible so far) to get off. I put them on to check it out, then tried to take them off, and I can't. Only put them on if you need them.
These are a great deal on a good quality, comfortable, lightweight pole.

My hands sweat a lot when hiking so I wrapped the grips with some sports tape and it worked out great.
By hike-o-path from Cape Coral, FL on 08/12/2008 Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Will fall right off when trying to use them for trekking. Had to wrap tape around the poles to get them to fit tight enough to stay on when actually using the poles.
Very lightweight, but the sections slip By mountain guy from Palo Alto, CA on 08/09/2008 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight Cons: Collapses Too Easily Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This is a wonderfully lightweight trekking pole that I have carried across the Himalaya and on numerous backpacking trips. However the adjustment lock easily comes loose and the pole sections slide in or out. If a section slides out, any sideways force easily snaps off the plastic tightening bolt.
