Worth every penny
"I bought these as a leap of faith because I had never owned a pair of hiking poles before, and these were on the pricey side. But I am a convert and I find them to be money well spent. I bought them to improve my stability during bush walks, and, by extension, my confidence. They definitely hit the brief, and they also offer the added benefit of allowing me to take some of my body weight into my arms when my legs get tired, especially during uphill climbs. I will never be without a pair again, and I'm so glad I splurged and got these ones, as they are light enough to carry around easily even when I'm not using them."
