Highest priced brando I've seen.

I got carbon fiber Hi-Tec on sale for $25us/pr. VERY light!

I still prefer my single one piece.

Leki used to be good but the last one I had sucked because it would collapse during use. I only use one pole and put some weight on it

I switched to Black Diamond flick locks and haven't had any problems.

>hello. I am so fucking retarded I would like to pay 100 dollars for a stick.

gearfags piss me off, but people who actually buy hiking poles astound me.

also, just go hike a trail. people realize hiking poles are fucking useless and throw them in the bushes.

half my car camping set up is from discarded random camping crap I found in national forests.

I have Komperdell ski poles and they do what ski poles are supposed to do.

If what other people buy pisses you off that much, you're the one with the problem. I suspect that the root of the feeling is that you're insecure about their superior education and social status, and jealous of their financial success.

if you don't see why buying 100 dollar sticks made in china by children is wrong you are a moron.

if at the same time you want to tell me that my veiws are insane, commit sudoku.

I broke a mudbasket on mine. Contacted company. They sent me 2 mudbaskets within a week. Good company.

Either get this, or anything with a cork grip.
Go to outdoorgearlab to see some reviews and recommendations.

I use Leki Corklites, cost me 160. They also set my tent up. Having poles is like having 4 legs

Dayhiker here, never got the idea behind poles. What are some pros and cons?

Pros: propels you forward. Dandy when you're carrying a lot of weight. Also the extra balance is great especially when you're going down a steep hill, bushwhacking and river crossing.

Cons: little bit of extra weight depending on quality/type of metal and autists on /out/ bitch at you.
