Does anyone on here have experience with these poles? Reviews elsewhere seem pretty good and for $55, the price seems hard to beat.
I've never used hiking poles before, but will start using them soon (also need them for my new tarp).
Is vibration dampening worth the weight penalty?
Are elliptical poles a better way to go? Is the extra strength necessary.
Any other poles recomended instead of these? I'd like to stay in the under $100 price range.
