User Review: REI Peak UL AirShock Trekking Poles
|
Rating: 
Price Paid: $149
I have the same concerns as one of the other reviewers. I took these on an 80-mile trip through the Wallowas in Oregon and found three problems with these poles. The first is that on a long day they eventually come loose and slip. The second is they change settings from no shock to anti-shock or the other way around. This depends on how you use them, uphill or downhill. The third problem is tightening them when you adjust them. They are the most picky poles I have ever used. If you loosen them just a tiny bit too much then you can't tighten them again without pulling them all the way out and adjusting them, then carefully putting them back together and tighening them as you slip them back together.
I love the light weight but not the performance. I expect these poles to stay on the settings I choose. I took them back to REI and got a new pair. I think I'll have the same problems though.
If you are a casual hiker then these are good poles. If you hike many miles then I think you will be unhappy with these poles.
It is looking like I'll have to take this second pair back to REI. This time I'll get another model.
