Great buddy on a long hike
I recently went on a long hike in Taiwan and brought one pole. It was awesome especially the flick lock feature. It was so convenient that my friends' poles looked cumbersome to adjust. the grip was great, I could switch sides easily. I would never leave for a hike without my pole.

trust worthy!
Hi, started using these after another well known brand repeatedly slid shut on tricky snow crossings in the Alps. My son, who mountaineers,recommended the Black Diamonds to me and I have never been disappointed on many treks. They have survived being taken apart for various airports this summer while hiking in Norway and Switzerland. They are easy to adjust and always dependable-a safety issue for me. I have recommended them to various friends, who have also been pleased with them.

Perfect
Not much to say. They are light, sturdy, don't reverberate as others do. They are compact. They are perfect. This is my second pair of BD hiking poles and this pair is even better. Black Diamond rules.

what a pair of Sticks
Great item. Like always I go to my local outfitter/sporting goods store, take things for a run than go to the ALTREC site. Great sticks the patient locking system is outstanding took them on a 3 Mile Hill hike with changes in Elevation specially the down hill its like having four legs. I loaded down my pack to see what the sticks offer and they were great took them off the trails to see how I would do in rock areas they saved me a few times from a fall. If you are looking for a pair of trekking Poles these are it. You get more than you paid for. Thanks and keep it safe.

Awesome quality.
I have yet to field test them, but what I can say is the quality and build of these trekking poles is top-notch. Black Diamond has done it yet again, with excellent quality and functionality. The only complaint I have is that, to undo the flip lock takes the strength of Hercules, and also the price is a bit steep. In the end, all of these are minor issues, and should not prevent anyone from enjoying top quality trekking poles.
