      Comments about Black Diamond Contour Elliptical Compact Trekking Poles - Pair:

      I've used these poles for about 1.5 years in the New Hampshire White Mountains and the Adirondacks. They've saved my legs many times and without a doubt let me go farther.
      I typically also clap them together to let bears know that I am nearby.
      Only drawback is that the packlength is relatively long and don't fit inside my bag.

        Comments about Black Diamond Contour Elliptical Compact Trekking Poles - Pair:

        These trekking poles are amazing! I'm a 300+ pounder and they still were wable to hold me up. I never have to worry about stability or having them fail when i needed them the most like with some other trekking poles i have used. I had given up on trekking poles entirely until about a year ago when my girlfriend bought these for me for snowshoeing. until then every set i had used required constant tightening and collapsed as soon as i started to slip, the exact time i needed them (this was back when i only weighed in at 180lbs). the flick lock is completely secure and easy to use even with gloves on. couple that with the elliptical shaft and you have the best pair of trekking poles ever devised by mortal man.

            Comments about Black Diamond Contour Elliptical Compact Trekking Poles - Pair:

            I've got a lot of miles on these in the past year and I'm pretty happy with them. Its easy to change the length with the flip locks and they lock securely. The straps are very comfortable. My only complaint is the numbers. I use these for my tent or tarp so I'm changing the length at least twice a day and now the numbers are starting to wear off.
