Our thru-hiking tester reports that the single twist lock never loosened, and the low swing weight - this carbon pole is also the lightest in the test - kept her arms from tiring during 25-mile days in the mountains. Twist locks tend to be failure points on poles this cheap, but our testers noted the two on this pole did not slip or stick, even during a week-long, rainy stretch of guiding in Denali National Park. You can also disengage the strap with a single button push, which allowed our tester to easily transfer one pole to his other hand for food intake on the 40-mile Mt. Mitchell Race Challenge without throwing off his stride. [Extracted from the article] |
