not what they used to be
the locks on these poles are now plastic. Still have my old poles which are metal lockdowns - used now for 8 years and going strong. The overall feal of these poles are cheap, especially when compared to the older versions. They flex more too, which scares me that they will snap.

Nice poles
Nice feel with good grip. Nice to be able to adjust in between size on fixed grip poles without cutting. Nice swing weight

20+ years and going strong
These poles are bombproof and perform great year after year. Flicklock never slips, grips are comfortable, I could go on. The fact that I have 20 year old Traverse poles that are going strong means that these extra pairs that I bought on sale will last longer than I will.

High quality poles
I got these because they were on sale BUT would have paid full price for them. I actually lost my first pair of these and ordered a second because i like them so much. They are light weight, sturdy, and collapse enough to put in my backpack polehole. The baskets are easy to put on too. Not much more to say but HIGHLY recommend getting a pair if you are comparing between these and another pair.
