UPDATE:
Amazon sent the correct poles. All is well.
PROS: Excellent quality; easy to adjust; very durable; comfortable; collapse very small for storage.
CONS: Not cheap, but should last a long time or my first pair lasted over 10 years before I lost them.
Amazon is advertising & showing the LEKI Super Makalu COR-TEC Antishock Trekking Poles (TO2048-08) but is shipping a much cheaper non-shock LEKI Themolite (TO2136-08). So I returned & hoping Amazon ships the proper poles. I have been ordering from Amazon for years and never received completely wrong items but hopefully the big “A” will make it right. IF I had gotten the correct poles, I can tell you that these are excellent as I have used them for over 10+ years. I unfortunately “lost” them a couple of weeks ago & was using Amazon for the replacements. After 10 full years of both serious back-country full pack hiking & leisurely local park hikes, they still functioned perfectly. I cannot even imagine hiking without these poles on rough terrain as it makes the experience much more enjoyable. Once you use these, you will feel “naked” without them. My kids also love them as these can be shortened to “kid size” and still work great. I would not bother buying the “kids size” poles; just buy the adult size LEKI for the youngsters so they can grow into them later. With the easy telescoping adjustments, it is not a problem. Keeping fingers crossed Amazon comes thru with the right poles.

The first and only set of trekking sticks that I will ever own. A lifetime warranty makes it impossible to wander over to a different company. I have had several sections replaced after bending them during a few bad falls while hiking the Appalachian Trail. The merchants were all friendly and never charged for their time or the repairs. I haven’t found a better company out there.
