Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles - Pair:
First Impression: Let's face it. It's the price tag. They're up there in price, no doubt. It's why it took me as long as it did to pick up a pair of these. They are expensive, and that's a big turnoff.
Second Imprssion, and every impression thereafter: Like the title says, you get what you pay for. Pay a premium price, get a premium product.
This is one solid set of trekking poles. Everything is built like a tank on these things, and they weigh next to nothing. The cork grips are great, and I'm really glad they went with the extra lower grip as well. The lever lock is the only thing I'll use nowadays. It works, it holds, it's never failed me. The flex and shock absorption is incredible as well. I can lean on these bad boys as hard as I want, and while they may bend a bit, they don't break.
And the reason I actually purchased this particular set of poles is the absence of vibration on impact with the ground. None. It's a solid plant, no shaking, no flexing. Even for a big guy like me.
This set of poles comes highly recommended from me, without any reservations.

Comments about Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Poles - Pair:
Very light poles. These are extremely stiff. I use mine as trekking poles, as well as my single tent stake. My only complaint is that they scratch easily, even just from closing and opening them up. Scratches aren't deep and shouldn't affect performance, but the poles will most likely lose some aesthetic appeal after a few uses.
