Good value for money in these stocks. I ersthaft expected the fast kink this reasonably-priced sticks to the sliding connections, as in a very expensive precursor of another brand ever happened to me ist.Ich currently have at least a body weight of 85 kilograms and can me from time to time supported entirely on the sticks to mountain slopes running down which, however, I try to avoid because, these are indeed to very thin-walled hollow aluminum poles that surely someday give werden.Derzeit I hiked all 93 km with these sticks and the sticks are still as on the first day. The cork grips are very comfortable to grip and the wrist loops keep good.I am very happy with the whole process of purchase and the sticks.
