Shopper Do these polls have the triple spring antiskock feature ?
TRACEY W No, they utilize Leki's short anti-shock lite(short travel0 set-up.

Happy hiking.

TIM H I don't know if they're triple spring, but they do have antishock springs to absorb impact. Excellent quality poles. I hike in rocky terrain and constantly catch the pole tips inbetween rocks where lesser poles would bend and break these held up no problem.
PAUL F These Poles do have anti-shock springs. Don't know what you mean by "Triple Spring" I didn't even know they make Hiking Poles with triple springs. Why not just make one extra cushy spring instead of making this device needlessly complicated which invites the possibility breaking easily--I'm ranting.
Anyway, what this DOES have is triple sections for adjusting pole size. In other words there are three tubes to each pole (one inside the other) which can be used to customize it's length.
Hope this answers your question.
BERNHARDT H Yes, the anti-shock does help when walking also poles are light and rugged.
KEN M The anti-shock feature on these poles is AWESOME ? they are FAR more quiet than other trekking poles that I've been around, the locking feature makes them very secure, and the anti-shoke system really works.
As far as having the "triple spring" feature, I'm not sure. I do know that you'll be extremely pleased.
By the way, I'm a big guy (6'2", 215#) and do a lot of hiking ... I really stress these poles -- especially on steep climbs and descent. They've been flawless for me. AND they are much lighter (and quieter) than the poles my partners use.
