"Black Diamond used carbon fiber material to reduce the Alpine CF Trekking Poles' weight to a ridiculously low 17 ounces. The carbon fiber also reduces vibrations on the trail for less fatigue while you hike.

"I got hooked on trekking poles 11 years ago when I was backpacking alone in fairly remote regions of trails. I had purchased a pair of Leki Super Makalu Anti-shock poles, and have been using them ever since. About 5 years ago I purchased my now-wife a pair of Komperdell poles and she also swears by the benefits of using them while backpacking."
