These poles helped me tremendously while climbing and descending 15,000 feet of elevation gain in my first 100 miler. They're light enough as a beginner's selection or experienced runner's selection. Easy to deploy and easy to pack with a comfortable grip!

Light and easy to carry poles. (Not as light as the Carbon, but the difference wasn’t enough for me)

My favorite poles. I’ve had one pair for four years now and they’re still in great shape, even after beating them up through countless training runs and multiple 50Ks, 50Milers, 100milers and a 200 miler.
