Wish they came in my size By Mountain Maiden from Hesperus Colorado on 11/11/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Grip, Snug Fit, Warm, Windproof Best Uses: Backcountry, Casual Wear, Driving, Working Outdoors Describe Yourself: Advanced Gear Usage: Cold Weather Living, Winter Sports Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: They were too big and my son snagged them. He seemed to be entranced with them. The only problem he reported was that the wrist strap was ridiculously too tight and wanted me to remove it. I really, really want a pair of softshell gloves, but can't find any at a reasonable price. These would have been perfect if they had only come in my size!

Spend the extra [$] on these By Armstrong.199 from Columbus, OH on 11/06/2009 Pros: Convenient, inexpensive Best Uses: Backpacking, Traveling Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Since I live in Ohio, I have to ship or check my trekking poles when traveling to National Parks out west. Last year, I didn't have these plastic covers and had to wrap the ends of the poles in bubble wrap so none of my luggage would get "speared." This was a bit of a pain on the return trip home since I kept the bubble wrap, but had forgotten to throw in some packing tape. This year, these covers will be so much easier. Plus, I've heard that if you have covers on your poles, you have a better chance of getting them through carry-on luggage, since the sharp point is covered and they can be considered a "walking aid" versus a "ski pole." That would be great, since I often prefer to avoid checked baggage entirely. One last plus is storage--I can throw these in the closet with the covers on and not worry about them.
By RP from Ontario, Canada on 11/05/2009 Pros: Ergonomic Grip, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just getting into Skate Skiing this season. These poles are stiff and light. The grips don't seem to have a release. Minor issue. Looking forward to trying these out this coming winter.
