Comments about Black Diamond Contour Elliptic Poles (pair):

May be not the best version of trekking poles, but definitely very good for it's price! I use it for hiking and backpacking and I was never disappointed about these poles.
So... I've bought it, I use it, I like it! :-)

Over the years I've owned several models that didn't have ellipitical shafts. I prefer the stifness and strength of the ellipitical shafts. They also seem to transfer much less of the shock and vibration through the shaft when you plant it. The flicklocks are quicker and easier to adjust than the locking mechanisms that require constant twisting and turning.
