These are fixed-length poles, but they weigh only about 3.5 oz each. I've got a set and really like them. They are very durable considering their weight.
Just thought I'd pass this along.

Very VERY tempting, but Amanda would kill me Great Deal!!!!!

Preacha she may "Take the other one from you" hahahahaha

I don't see that as funny , that is scary!!!!!! hahahahaa

I just keep thinking I'd break them, I hope they keep them priced that low for a while, I might give in eventually. I've always wondered if there was anything more special about the BPL Stix or Gossamer Gear poles than what you find in a golf club shaft.

I haven't even got my new pair of flick lock, $13 each, 9 oz, Wal-Mart, Outdoor Products poles "broke in" yet. They have exceeded my expectations, so far.

I have 1 swiss gear model. Bought it off the clearance rack at wally world for $5. thought it would work for me to decide if I need some or not.....I do. The only time it has come loose it only started slipping. Not a collapse in a critical moment or anything. Both my 4 year old and I were using it on a pretty steep 800 foot climb. I would put in front of him to grab and take a step, then I would make a step. Bushwakin trip last winter.

After using just 1, I am like how did I do without this. That's it in my pic over there. $60 tho????

(and I don't get the PM/TM exchange) Should I guess?

dont guess clif... but $60 is not bad at all I paid over $100 for my Leki Sport poles... and would pay it again if these were to break or get lost or the what not.. but they are not carbon.

ordered mine today!

I had Testicular Cancer 3 years ago, hence, She might take the other one

I paid $60 for my USED Leki Super Makalu's, and they are not Carbon either. I Love them, and are worth every cent
