at campmor.com Summary:
In a word: Fantastical!
I've used ski poles for years, but never thought I would use similiar poles for hiking. But once you start using trekking poles, you'll never go back to using a staff or bare-handing... They antishock mech works and they fold up small...Indispensable!
Pros:
All-around stability
Downhill knee-savers
Extra power uphill
Safe stream-crossings
Tarp/tent poles
Clothes drying rack
Bear defense
Whining hiker-buddy discipline stick
Cons:
Ummm, still thinking, but some models are expensive when compared to ski-poles
LEKI poles are awesome and Campmor has a nice deal on this pair. (I think the "tour" model is nearly identical to Makalu Antishock, though) Customer Service:
Not used. Leki makes a quality product Similar Products Used:
A big stick I found in the woods. Would like to try the angled-grip LEKIs

at Campmor Summary:
These poles are just about the best value I could find for the price. You can find a product on sale with the same features as this for slightly less, but the Leki standard of quality made me buy these. They have everything you need, with nothing you don't. The hand grips are comfortable, the lock system tried-and-true, and the springs adequate. The only minor complaint that I can find is that the springs on one pole are slightly "springier" than the springs on the other. After being slightly annoyed at this for a few hours, I ended up completely forgetting about it. I believe that the springs are adjustable, though, so I'll try that when I get the chance.

Half way up the "hill" on my last trip I swipped one of these polls from my partner and used it for the next 8 days. The first thing I did when I returned home was purchase my own pair. Good balance + good weight + good value = great polls. Similar Products Used:

I really like the quality of the Makalu poles. I hadnt used poles before but I heard so many good things about hiking with poles that I had to purchase some. I am convinced that the help significantly and would not hike without them. Lekki seems to be a good brand and my poles have held up well and appear to be of good quality. Similar Products Used:
