Sturdy, comfy grip
Their first adventure was the Milford track and they handled the rocky, wet terrain well. Easy to change height quickly. Bonus was I didn’t get blisters from the hand grip which I did on my old non-cork poles

Really like them! They are very light, which is great because I usually carry them when I go up and use them for knees support only on the way down.
Customer service great as usual, was undecided between these and another brand and they gave me good advice (didn't try sell me the most expensive of the 2 but what they thought was better for me). delivery in less than 48h from ordering them.
Very good value for a pair, even though I only use one currently. Seems to help me walk; my right knee is arthritic and using a pole helps with stability.
These seem really light and comfortable to grip, very strong, works well with our Durston x mid 2
First time I have every used walking poles and they were fabulous - easy to use, comfortable cork hand grips. Thoroughly recommend them.
