Trekking Pole Recommendations

These look like a good set of "higher end" poles at a reasonable price. Anybody have experience with these?

I used them last year. Good quality for sure and well built. I wasn't a fan of the locks, seemed like they were always either too tight or too loose, and required a phillips head to adjust. Also the bottom section was not carbon fiber, seemed like it was aluminum or something like that.

My dad and I both have a pair off Amazon and have used them for 2 years now, still going strong. Great bang for the buck and they include all the attachments. They weigh right at 1lb and collapse down nicely.

I put this chart together to help make sense of all these suggestions. Thought some of you might find it useful. (Click on it to actually read it)

Rob,

I'd be interested in your poles if they were shorter. I want to use the poles as bipod legs for my modular evolution bipod, in addition to being traditional trekking poles. Any chance you could get their collapsed length down around 22"?

Also, with whatever poles I go with, I will probably need to cut the grips off and epoxy in an attachment for the 1/4-20 stud required to attach it to the bipod adapter. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how this could be done with your poles.

Thanks.
