These poles don't feel as lightweight as I expected. I've held other people's carbon poles and been impressed by how light they are. These are lighter than my old aluminum poles, but not by a lot. Maybe they are a bit thicker and will last longer than other lighter weight poles?
The thing I'm most concerned about is how difficult the poles are to telescope in and out. It makes me think the poles will be all scratched up before the season is over. And I don't dare lube the shafts for fear of compromising the Power Lock mechanism.
On the plus side, the foam grips (and even the straps) are far more comfortable than the cork grips on my previous poles.

An excellent product at a very good price. We use the poles in the steep rugged hills of West Virginia while mushroom hunting, and they performed way above expectations. The service and fast shipping from the Sierra Tradding Post was exceptional!

I've owned 2 other pairs of poles which had the twist lock systems. They eventually lost their ability to lock down over many years of use. I purchased these because they were light and had the lever type locks hoping that they will be an improvement. So far, I'm very satisfied with them.

Outstanding lightweight pole, seems to be indestructible. We use this in snake country to probe ahead in grassy areas. Found a rattler, hooked it and tossed it with the pole. Snake wasnt happy, but I sure was. We also own the metal variety of this pole and they are also excellent, but the carbon fiber ones seem stronger and better all around. We will buy these again for sure !

Question
“I am about to return a pair of Komperdell C3's with the duolock mechanism. They were occasionally difficult to lock, now one section has completely failed. Is this a different, improved locking mechanism? Thanks”
