I don't have any for sale, but if I could offer a brand I'd recommend Montem Trekking poles. The ones I got are half the weight of the aluminum ones I had before. And they run $50 on Amazon.

Costco has carbon fiber poles for $29
Very light weight & worth the money

The Cascade Mountain are awesome. You can get them from some Costco's or on Amazon.
They aren't marked up 500% like the Black Diamond poles and are just as good.

I ended up getting the carbon fiber ones with cork handles. I got them from their website. They had a 40% off deal or something. It might still be going on.

cascade are the only way to go, tested all the big name poles against them, cascade were as good or better than all. I love mine, far better than my old aluminum poles. good luck.

Sorry I didn't say what brand. I assumed we were all talking about the cascades. Check to see if they are still running the sale on Thier website. It was cheaper than amazon when I got mine.

As said the cascades are good value. I've used mine 2 yrs and I have no complaints.

And, Amazon also has them for a very cheap price at the moment.
" Amazon.com : Aluminum Quick Lock Trekking Poles with Cork Grip : Sports & Outdoors "

Was just curious which cascades you guys were talking about, there are aluminum like in your link ($23). Or carbon fiber which are $45. Both with a cork handle. Don't see any sales on their website right now, but $23 is not bad at all.

Thx for keeping me honest. I saw the aluminum poles and thought they were carbon. I went with the carbon poles.

As i saw on previous threads here, the snap locks are the other feature to look for.

so the carbon fiber are only 2.4oz less weight than the aluminum. Not worth twice the cost IMO..... As you say, snap locks or quick lock is the next option. In one much better than the other?? Side note, doesn't look like I could get the aluminum in twist lock with cork handles. It would be eva.
