User Review: REI Peak UL AirShock Trekking Poles
|
Rating: 
Price Paid: $161.52
I have the same concerns as one of the other reviewers. I took these on a 35-mile trip through Cascade Pass, Sahale Glacier Camp, Horseshoe Basin, Basin Creek, and Trapper Lake and found two problems with these poles.
The 1st 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 second 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.
These would be perfect poles if they would stay on anti-shock when you set them on anti-shock, and stay on lock-out when you set them on lock-out. As far as adjusting them, it's a bit annoying, but it still works.
For $161.52 (with tax) they shouldn't have these problems. So I give it 3 stars.
I returned them for another pair, but from what I've read and experienced, they too may be going back. Hopefully the next pair will be flawless, I'd like that!
