I was crusin the net for a pair of trekking poles and stumbled upon the Overland 3's, I was about to get the Leki Makalus but I noticed that the Overland's were marked down from 60 bucks to only 35 at REI.com so I checked out the specs and decided to buy them. I have used them on several backpacking trips and havent had a problem, they are very light and I must say they look awesome. This is a very comfortable pole and I would reccommend them to anyone who needs an extremely durable, light,and comfortable pole.I can't wait to try these babies out in the snow.

Customer Service

MSR Rocks, one of the reasons that influenced me to buy the Overlands was because of MSR's ability to achieve perfection with all of it's equipment, And they have a tremendous customer service department.
