I ordered the sticks, so I exonerate my joints and especially my back while hiking. Just lately I have yet more problems and I was advised by my physiotherapist trekking poles. Because I'm really a layman, I can only describe my first impressions and experiences, the result is absolutely positive. The adjustable telescopic poles are supplied in a convenient carrying bag. When unpacking immediately falls on the quality and stable processing. They are relatively easy despite its robustness and can be very easily adjusted continuously to the correct height. The handles are perfect, not too wide, not too long, I can enclose well. With the wrist loops I keep them safe and relieves even the wrists. But I have only learned from the e-mail sent PDF file that I received after purchase. In 18 pages is explained in detail how to use the sticks properly. But kudos to the company. Especially as a layman I have learned a lot. The anti-shock system I find very pleasant, it dampens the suspension shocks and it runs very relaxed and light-footed. Who wants to, it can also turn with a simple twist. The supplied Straßenpads and Snow I could not try because I was only on forest tracks on the go and even snow at this season is rather scarce :-) I am glad that I chose for this trekking poles and I am sure by the high quality material I'm going to prolong the enjoyment of them, running makes me now again a lot more fun.
