I have carried Leki Makilu poles for nearly 10 yrs now. Never had one slip or collapse. I am a 210 pounder so put a LOT of weight on them regularly. In addition to NOT using the straps, recommend the anti-shock for the trail hikers not only for the "give" when going down hill, but also easier on the wrists to those who are experienceing arthritis or carpal tunnel. I use mine when walking on the level to increase my stride length so at the end of the day the wrists can get "hammered". I've also used the "TRACKS" "Sur-Loks" with great success. My Makilu poles don't have a camera mount which the Sur Loks do. I bought my son and his wife Komperdells from REI. Both sets have failed!(collapses and both bent), they both have Makilus now.
