Here's what other sites are saying:

From REI:
"The REI Peak UL poles are some of the lightest, strongest trekking poles out there! They're made for minimalist backpackers and adventure racers. Upper and middle sections are small-diameter carbon fiber, creating ultralight poles that damp vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range. Titanal aluminum lower section adds durability; Titanal aluminum is one of the strongest aluminum alloys around and offers mechanical properties comparable to steel. With the new Stop Lock system, poles won't come apart; system makes the pole sections into one unit for safety and stability. DuoLockâ„¢ extra-strong internal locking mechanisms apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment. Reliable DuoLocks enhance stability and make length adjustments easy. 3-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 55 in. and compact to 25 in. for easy storage and transport. Ergonomic and contoured ultralight EVA foam grips and adjustable, padded neoprene wrist straps provide miles of comfort. Fitted with trekking discs and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; included tip protectors are strictly for travel/packing protection, not intended for hiking."

"If you like trekking poles these can certainly fit the bill. Exceptionally light, no problems with slippage at the joints, and a comfortable grip.

They have a flaw and that is durability. My first two sets failed after just a few outings. The first incident was using the pole to catch me as I stumbled."

"I have owned these poles for a little over a year and have used them on multiple trips and over various terrain. The star tip design has held up very well and has exceptional grip on all types of rock and even ice. They are very lightweight and the hand grips fit perfect."

"I have enjoyed these poles for the past two weeks. They are so light I hardly know they are there. I am 6' tall and 210 lbs. and the poles do a pretty good job of handling my body weight. I use the hand straps in the recommended manner and I am putting quite a bit of weight onto those straps when moving up steep terrain."

"Even though I'm on my second set, I believe they'll prove worthy of 4 stars.

My history with trekking poles began about 16 years ago. Back then, we just used what was called telescoping ski poles. I still have my original, durable set of aluminum Elderids I got at Marmot's home store in Bellevue, WA."
