Good value, good poles Apr 21, 2008 My daughter bought me a pair of these for Christmas 2006. I don't do heavy duty backpacking, just day hikes and geocaching (no snow), but these poles have held up well, are very light and easy to adjust, and have done the job well. I'm a smidgen under 6'0" and these are plenty long for me, even when extended for the downhill. They reduce down to a convenient size and the grips are comfortable and durable. I know they are less expensive than most of the other poles I've seen at REI and elsewhere, but I couldn't tell you the differences and I doubt you could tell unless you're an extreme user.
