“Light”

“I've just used them on two long day hikes and I'm totally satisfied. Super light is super nice. I've used a low end snowshoe pole as a trekking pole and it would sometimes slip a bit. The C3's did not budge. The pole sections don't slide in and out very easily; a bit of pressure with a little twist helps during adjusttemt.The twist to lock and unlock system does rely on a certain amount of force to work properly. If you find it difficult to open jar lids, you might want to consider poles with a lever style lock.”
