Here's what other sites are saying:

From Altrec Outdoors:
"Ultralite and ergonomically correct, the Leki Thermolite AERGON XL Antishock Trekking Poles are ideal for hikers, wanderers, and lightweight backpacking fanatics. Equipped with Lekia s Soft Antishock System Lite and weighting in at just over a pound these knee saving walking sticks will soon become your constant hiking companion.Built with a Positive Angle AERGON grip, the Thermolite Trekking Poles incorporate a positive angle into the compact right/left hand grip to maintain a more neutral ergonomic wrist and hand position, resulting in exceptional comfort, security and precise tip placement that is enhanced with an Integrated strap. Additional comfort and breathability is highlighted with an exterior thermo-foam handle. For a secure shaft adjustment, a Super Lock System (SLS) that uses a wide thread pattern and steep-angled lock mechanism provides quick and easy changes. This section joint lock is up to 60 times more secure, and less prone to loosening while in use.A carbide flex tip deflects up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole section reduces the risk of pole breakage. Standard trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable with a simple screw on/off design."

From REI:
"With innovative, ultralight design and ergonomic grips, the Leki Thermolite XL Aergon Antishock trekking poles provide comfort and convenience. Lightweight Aergon grips feature an edgeless shape and a rubberized, textured surface to maximize comfort and minimize hand fatigue. Positive Angle grips position the hands at an ergonomically correct 15° angle for comfort. Ergonomic corrective angle produces a neutral wrist position for optimal swing efficiency and stress relief at wrist joint. Simple and fast, Super Locking System (SLS) adjustment requires little effort to securely lock pole sections into position. Strong, 7075 aluminum shafts are heat treated for outstanding tensile strength. 3-section telescoping poles collapse from 53 to 25.6 in. for easy packing. Synthetic tips flex up to 30° without damaging the pole shaft. Universal carbide tip ends ensure durability and an optimal grip on ice and rock surfaces. Nylon wrist straps feature a soft side for comfort against the skin. Domed disc baskets provide extra support on soft terrain; thanks to a threaded design, they can be easily replaced with larger baskets (not included) for winter use."

From RockCreek:
"The Thermolite Aergon XL Trekking Pole by Leki weighs in light at 17 oz and provides the ultimate in shock absorption when hiking or trekking. For anyone that goes down hills and feels it the next day in their backs and knees, you have to get a pair of these poles. With the soft antishock system you get excellent retraction when the pole is placed on the down, and even better spring in your step when going up hill. New positive angle AERGON XL grip offers incredible comfort for your hands while hiking, and especially made for people with larger mitts."

From Massey's:
"Positive Angle XL Grip, Super Lock System, Soft Antishock System Lite, 7075 Aircraft-grade Aluminum, tempered at the factory."

"First I would like to say that I used to be opposed to trekking poles. To me they seemed like a waste of time, weight, and money. I wouldn't even consider buying a cheapo $20 pair from Wal-Mart let alone blow $150 on some supposedly lightweight, aircraft grade carbon shafted, anti-shock poles or whatever they say to sell poles these days."
