Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Too bad Hawaii is so far away. Kilauea would have no chance when you hike with the Leki Ti Luau Trekking Poles. These ultralight poles weigh only 15.3oz (pair) and have cool hibiscus graphics to add a tropical flavor to your summer hikes. Adjust these great-looking, three-section poles to fit your stature. They help you hike efficiently and prevent injuries and also reduce impact on your knees. The Luau Trekking Poles' Air Ergo grips feel great in your hands even in the hot sun and have a 15 degree angle to provide a self-correcting pole plant as you step over rough volcanic rocks. Leki included replaceable carbide flex tips, which can bend up to 30 degrees before breaking, for added durability, and performance baskets for added versatility. Too bad the big island isn't closer."

From US Outdoor Store:
"Description of Leki Ultralite Ti Luau Trekking PolesDon’t let the Hibiscus flowers throw you, these heat treated all Aluminum 7075 Ultralite poles are just as tough as their cousin, the 2136. No bells and whistles here, just a compact size with Foam Grips and comfy Straps. The 360° turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. The reduced weight is because there is no Antishock mechanism but this pair of poles sure can take you where you want to go. Carbide Flextips are added security on rock and ice.

The Ultralite Ti shaft series highlites LEKI's superiority in high-grade Aluminum technlogy by using smaller diameter, thinner wall tubing along with a proprietary heat-treating (tempering) process. The result is strength and unsurpassed resiliancy on the trail. The combination of features and innovations makes this the most versatile of all trekking poles for any season and every corner of the globe, with less weight. Adjustment range 69-135cm. Shaft sections carry a lifetime warranty against breakage. The award winning Super Lock System allows the pole length to be adjusted with the least amount of torque (hand strength) and offers the most secure in.holdin. of any other pole locking system in the world. Automatic comfort straps adjust without the use of a buckle for convenience and comfort.

UltraLite Ti Luau
Reviewed by Mark Williams, Jun 10, 2008

"I bought these poles because they were the lightest in store despite having reservations about their strength compared to heavier options. Shop staff (Blacks) assured me they had never had any problems reported. Until now. . .

One pole snapped within one mile of its first usage (admittedly on very rough ground)."
