Comments about Black Diamond Trail Ergo Cork Poles (pair):

Im 36 and am 6 months removed from achilles tendon rupture repair surgery. Back on the trails and I decided it was time to get a pair of trecking poles to lesson the wear n tear on my legs. I trust Black Diamond having had experience with many of their products in past. Thies poles are no different. High quality. Easy adjustments. Light. Strong. (Im 6 foot 245) They never slipped or lost leingth settings. Grips/handle is at good angle and the cork is great!
It realy helps disperse the weight and lesson impact, especially on incline and declines. IMO it feels like a 25% relief of leg load.
I will be going to Glacier National park in 4 months and am glad to be having thies poles with me.

Very good buy. I am 6ft tall 195 lbs. This pole fits and feels like a glove. Easy to use and easy on the hands, when coming down rocky hills. My hands sweet a lot, the cork drys fast with no slipping. Someone gave these poles a lot of thought in their manufacture.

I bought 2, for a trip with my son to "Isle Royale." Covered 50 plus miles and these came in handy. It kept us upright so many times, vs a face plant if we did not have these poles. We carried 45 pounds pack, and I is a must have. I was off trail for about 5 miles, these may have saved my life when i used it as a brace when I was going when going over a downed tree. I jammed one between these two large branch since my center of gravity...I did not have one. The poles took a lot of stress, I swear i saw these things bend. It was only after I got back that I found them as good as new. They did not give at anytime, and the cork help if your hands sweat alot.
