Compared to my many, already broken, by turning to fixiernden hiking poles there is finally a good funktionierndes and durable clamping system. The lightweight and stiffness of the terminals can be finely adjusted precisely. Practically, the extended handle for a short steep uphill sections where you do not want every time adjust the pole length. The canes are light yet rigid. Snow will be, they are easy to mount and have proven snowshoeing. The wrist straps are padded and pleasantly soft, but nevertheless robust. 5 Stars.
