Likes: Good entry level poles. A little heavier than other products on the market, but that isn't a big deal for me.

Good value.

Dislikes: For the price, it is hard to say anything negative.

Likes: all in all these polls aren't bad. they do what they are supposed to. they help keep your balance on steep trails and take some of the stress off your knees which is why i bought them. the price is good too. i just couldn't bring myself to pay 70+ dollars for a glorified stick.

Dislikes: the plastic handles do get a bit slippery when you start to sweet. i also noticed that if your not careful you can get pinched by the wrist strap and the cut out where the strap is anchored but as long as your careful this isn't a big deal. once or twice i also had the pole collapse on me but i think i just needed to screw them down a little tighter then they seemed fine. so there not bad but there not the best eather but you get what you pay for.
