Here's what other sites are saying:

From Moosejaw:
"On Sale. Free Shipping. Leki Wanderfreund Trekking Pole (Single) (Fall 2009) Wanderfreund Trekking Pole by Leki Features Multimed Cor-tec Grip Super Lock System Carbide Flextip with Rubber Tip Ultra Sonic Finish Interchangeable Basket System Weight 9.1 oz Length 59-120 cm"

From Altrec Outdoors:
"The Multi-Med COR-TEC cork gripping area frees the hand/wrist of being stuck in one position. Use this cane style single staff at the best length for your activity. There are special sizing instructions for those wanting to use the Wanderfreund as a cane but some folks like to make it taller for a hiking staff. The 360 turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. The Carbide Flextip and the Rubber Tip for pavement or indoor use makes this a favorite among older customers or those in post-op rehabilitation."

From Teton Village Sports:
"FEATURES"

From RockCreek:
"The Wanderfreund Trekking Pole by Leki is designed for use as an assisting cane or a hiking pole. Highly versatile, the Wanderfreund comes with a rubber tip bottom that goes indoors and out, and can be adjusted from 65-135 cm. Equipped with a large, multi-medical grip made from a cork material, allowing your hand to relax as you walk, and giving you stable support. The Wanderfreund pole is equipped with the Super Lock System , which is the strongest system of its kind, allowing you to extend your poles with 40% less turning revolutions for adjustment, and will hold 140kg of force when locked. All in all, this means, easier to turn, a stronger pole and more security in the pole extension."

"Wish I had this when my wife and I backpacked every year in Kings Canyon, CA. I had switched to a long rake handle at one time, but wound up with an 84cm. ice axe. Not too useful, but comforting.

The Leki has an excellent locking mechanism, and enables one to switch from "city hills" to trail type travel in only a couple of minute."
