When I needed some adjustable poles I didn't really want to have to work over time just to get them. I stumbled upon these poles and decided that they would work just fine for me. The grips feel comfortable in my hand which is always an important factor as you are holding onto them all day. The weight is decent, they are not the lightest poles that I picked up but for the price I paid I won't be complaining. The flick lock system does what it says and that is too keep the pole locked in when closed and easily adjusted with the flick of a switch. My favourite part about the system is that I am able to adjust my poles without having to take off my gloves.
I have no complaints with these poles and I would say that they are one of the best deals out there on the market these days.
For a little bit more you may like the Black Diamond Expedition Poles which is a three section pole instead of a two section which these are.
