I have found them useful. They do help redistribute the weight on your back and are very handy for up hills. The only problem I have had with them is they can get in the way if you are going through brush and at other times but I have found them to be worth all the bother they might be. They are also very convienent for knocking spider webs off of the trail. It is very annoying when spider webs hit your face when backpacking.
