I saw those in Costco the other day. They are not lighter than my black diamond alumium poles despite these poles are made of carbon fibre.

Black diamond aluminum poles are $100-$175 and these are $25.... For most people’s uses, the little bit of extra weight is not noticeable nor makes a difference.

Highly reviewed by Andrew Skurka... a man who has 10's of thousands of miles thru-hiking (also wrote a gear book for National Geographic which is great).

Also, FYI at Costco Burnaby they were still full price. I have two sets of these and also Black Diamond Carbon Z-Poles which are much lighter, but fragile and not adjustable.

Just came back from China and used a pair of these

These poles do not have the twist lock but use clip type locks

Many of our fellow travelers bought those with a twist type lock
Virtually everyone had problems

+1 to these. Flip locks are good as long as you tighten them before starting your hike.

Never had the pole slip/retract, for the price (even at original $50) it is worth it. $25 for these is a bargain, esp with the different accessories included.

They aren't as light as some other CF poles, but they can't be beat for value. These are ~15oz per pair, which is comparable to most poles except for the lightest bd series at 1/5 the price and are variable length
