Good Features
 When I needed some adjustable poles I didn't really want to have to work over time just to get them. I stumbled upon these poles and decided that they would work just fine for me. The grips feel comfortable in my hand which is always an important factor as you are holding onto them all day. The weight is decent, they are not the lightest poles that I picked up but for the price I paid I won't be complaining. The flick lock system does what it says and that is too keep the pole locked in when closed and easily adjusted with the flick of a switch. My favourite part about the system is that I am able to adjust my poles without having to take off my gloves.

Bad Features
 I have no complaints with these poles and I would say that they are one of the best deals out there on the market these days.

Recommended Alternatives
 For a little bit more you may like the Black Diamond Expedition Poles which is a three section pole instead of a two section which these are.

    From Mountain Gear:
    For skiers and riders on a budget, Black Diamond's Traverse Adjustable FlickLock Poles are a high-quality, no-frills option for backcountry fun. They’re light, compact and can handle any sort of terrain, and they're a perfect option for the backcountry traveler who is already packing a probe and doesn’t require a wide adjustment range.
    Features:
    • Two-section aluminum pole is lightweight and strong enough for the demands of backcountry skiing
    • The FlickLock system won’t “walk” on you or slowly collapse when pole planting like some twist models
    • A carbide tip, 3/4 BD basket and comfortable dual-density grips with anatomical wrist straps round out the features
    • Sold as a pair

    Specifications:
    • Weight per pair: 1 lb 5 oz
    • Length: 95 - 145 cm
    • Material: 7075 Aluminum
