By Ints from Los Angeles on 10/31/2009 Pros: Flexible, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These poles are amazing. My intention was to lessen stress on my knees an these poles did the job. They are super light and it's just so much easier taking on these steep trails with heavy pack on. The adjustment isn't one of the easiest. At first I had hard time to get one of them locked. After a while messing with it I figured that you'd have to collapse the section all the way and then turn clockwise (don't lock it, just get started, you'll feel it) to get the locking mechanism started and then adjust the section to desired length then tighten all the way. Not very fast but poles are sleek and wont snag on anything.
By StampingDad from Kentucky on 10/28/2009 Pros: Good grips, Lightweight Cons: Collapses Too Easily, Unstable Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Bought these for the lightweight to use on Boy Scout Philmont Trek. Bought son less expensive anti-shock which were 6 oz heavier. One of my poles' duo lock failed on the third day. Wound up having to pack it nine days for return not to mention not having the use of the gear. No problem whatsover on the anti-shock--son used his poles for everything including ptiching dining fly. .
By Eric from California on 10/21/2009 Pros: Light swing weight, Lightweight Cons: Collapses Too Easily, Locking mechanism broke, Locks aren't dependable Best Uses: 4th leg for 3 leg table, Leaving at home Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Used these on numerous multi-day trail surveys. The Komperdell DuoLock on the C3 Carbon Trekking Poles was easily one of the poorest locking mechanisms I've ever used. They needed re-adjustment/re-tightening every couple of hours while hiking (Uggh). Eventually, the lower locking mechanism broke off on the lower section of one of the poles. I'll be returning to the tried and true Leki lockers on their (clearly superior) trekking poles.
