Very good quality, very comfortable grip.
The flip locks ("quick locks") give you reliable control and I strongly prefer them to the screw-together kind. Comfortable cork handle. On a first outing, absolutely no problems. There's a full set of rubber tips included (3 kinds, plus the integrated carbide tip itself).
My use:
Going uphill: I carry one stick (rather than strapping it to my bag) in a shortened position. That lets me brace on things without touching them or catch myself falling "up".
Going downhill: Extended to normal for my height + a little bit and I use it ahead of me to take strain off my knees and provide stability on loose surfaces.
Level ground: I typically don't use.
These are "basic" but everything you need in a hiking pole.
You're saving a lot of money and not losing anything by going with these instead of the big national brand-names. I would only use those (national brands) if you specifically need the ultra-compact design of "Z" hiking sticks, need a particular kind for your tent, or are sold on carbon-fiber's few ounces less weight.
I usually fly with only one stick unless it's going to be particularly strenuous or snowy.
For my fellow travelers, note the sticks WILL disaassemble (easily) to fit in a 22" rollaboard diagonally. It would probably be tight in a 22" spinner (which has a shorter body), and would not fit at all in a "international sized" carry-on.
(important considering how much more Z-frame collapsible hiking sticks cost)
Highly Recommended.
