"I would not recommend this pole. I have used them about a year on about 20 hikes. Top part of pole broke at handle early on and stayed attached by a small piece of metal.

A couple of weeks ago I had trouble adjusting one of the poles and could never get one section to lower."

"This is a lightweight, well balanced pole. During my recent Haute Route trek I snaped the internal locking mechanism when the Duolock came loose. Since I normally check the locks ever 4-5 hours, I now feel uneasy with this pole, as it could have been very dangerous if this had happened at another time."

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Sep 01, 2004

"This is a great lightweight trekking pole. Extensions slide inside one another and lock solid so the pole stays at the length you put it. A friend of mine had a different brand that comes apart like a tent pole, and it kept coming apart when he got it stuck in some rocks."
