By longlegs from Northern Nevada on 09/25/2008 Pros: Good grips, Lightweight, Strong 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: I have a pair of these and love them. I have really soft hands, and after using them once or twice and softening the neoprene strap and connecting nylon, I didn't even have sore spots.
I am getting a second pair for my husband, so he'll stop borrowing mine - at this price, they are a killer deal.
Also, the notes I've heard about them collapsing - not true with mine. I've run down a mountain with a full pack and put my full weight on them (about 180 lbs with the pack), and they never failed me once. But when you adjust them, they have to be clean. So pack a bandana or use your shirt to wipe them off before adjusting.

They collapse what else needs to be said By Ephraim from Teaneck on 08/23/2008 Cons: Collapses Too Easily, Unstable Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Comments: I purchased these poles - they collapse, are hard to lock, I sent them back for Lekis that weigh three oz more and it was the best thing I could have done. Komperdell should never have released these poles to the market. They are not high end poles they are a disgrace. I am so upset about the hassle these caused on a hiking trip I will never buy a Komperdell pole again.
