From REI:
"Introducing our new Peak UL line--the lightest, strongest trekking poles out there! Made for minimalist backpackers and adventure racers. Small-diameter carbon fiber creates ultralight poles that damp vibration and retain strength over a wide temperature range. Extra-strong DuoLocks™ provide a big boost in performance. DuoLocks--internal locking mechanisms--apply a wide area of pressure against pole walls to lock in length adjustment. DuoLocks showed 50% more holding power than other locking mechanisms during REI lab tests. DuoLock's reliability enhances stability, eases length adjustments and offers a compelling reason to upgrade to Peak UL poles. Three-section telescoping poles extend to a maximum length of 55'' and compact to 27'' for easy storage and transport. Ultralight EVA foam grips with an ergonomic, contoured shape and adjustable padded neoprene wrist straps provide miles of comfort. Fitted with vario trekking disks and extra-durable tungsten carbide tips; rubber tip protectors included."

"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."
