“Good Poles”

“I use hiking poles nearly all the time when I hike, and they seem to be able to disappear quite easily. These poles are probably the 8-10th pair I've purchase in the past 20 years, and are definately the lightest I've ever had. I was concerned about their sturdiness but after using them during a fairly agressive hike for me (9 mi RT and 2000+ ft elev gain), they held up just fine. At 69 I consider hiking poles pretty much manditory, especially on the steeper down hill trails. These certainly filled the bill!”
