I have a pair of leki makalu poles I love the cork grips because the don't give me blisters but I had a problem on snow with the locks un-screwing on one side. It took me a while to figure it out but the snow actuly twists the pole and loosens one side and tightens the other. so you need to rotate them to avoid this. My "pole shocks" no longer work and I found them to be little help when they did work.
