Reviewed by Lardo Hiker from Colorado on Monday, May 20, 2013This was an excellent purchase. My only complaint is that the poles don't break down as short as my other set but they are well worth the money.

Reviewed by E! from san diego on Saturday, May 04, 2013i enjoy black diamond poles and purchased my previous pair from STP. This pair, however, did not go short enough though - has only one place to adjust lenght instead of two - i mistakenly thought it was the same as my previous pair. Returned it but not because of quality.

Reviewed by Matt from Jamesville, NY on Tuesday, April 02, 2013I know a lot of reviewers don't like the 2 parts instead of 3, but hear me out. I had Komperdell Ridgemasters for 5 months but the screw-tighteners started slipping out, so I traded them in for these a few weeks ago. I just wanted better tighteners, which the Flicklocks definitely are, but I found three other major benefits: 1) The rubber tips (bought separately from Black Diamond for $5) are much more well-designed and hold the ground better when wet. They're more like a boot tread vs. the seemingly useless concentric circles of a Komperdell. 2) They are sturdier. Two part design rather than three part gives a pole much more reminiscent of a strong wooden stick than the somewhat flexible three part poles. I love that about these. 3) The rubber handles are superior to cork. The cork is slipperier when your have wet or oily hands. These handles also flare out a bit at the bottom so that if your hands do slip, they have a little something more to rest on and don't require me to stick my thumbs on top of the handles quite as much. 4) The sub-handle foam grips are also really nice in case you need to grip a little lower on the pole. I am 6'2", have Multiple Sclerosis and use these as my every day walking canes. I frequently lack the strength to stand, so these mean a bit more to me than if I were just using them on hikes. All five of the features listed above are really important. Making them smaller for backpacking isn't really that important to me. My old poles were about a foot smaller when telescoped, but the extra sturdiness is great.

Reviewed by SnowShoeGirl from Colorado on Saturday, March 02, 2013The design and quality of this product are great, but I want to strap these to a pack. While adjustable, I'm not sure why. These do not telescope down to a size conducive to stowing.

Reviewed by Jeo the walker from Kalispell, Mont on Wednesday, February 27, 2013I bought these poles to be general trekking poles for both winter and summer hiking/walking.|They lock in position very well, but they vibrate a lot on hard surfaces such as ice, asphalt or hard dirt. It would be nice to be able to dampen the vibrations some how.

Reviewed by Crazy Mom from Lakewood, Co on Tuesday, February 05, 2013Only used two times so far, not much snow here in Colorado yet. Lightweight, comfortable. Liked the locking device. Wish they retracted to a smaller size.

Reviewed by Snow Shoer from NYS Catskill Mountains on Wednesday, January 23, 2013very happy with these poles- some other reviews complained about the "collapsed" length being too long but I use them on my own property and plan to leave them extended. they make my snow shoeing MUCH more fun-since I had ACl surgery last year and I'm parinoid about taking a fall-very easy to adjust and they STAY that way
