I've been able to use these on hikes just 4 weeks post-surgery on my wrist without pain. The cork grip and shock absorption feature makes these both functional and comfortable. They're light to hold when not using as well.

It had been 25 years since I last purchased trekking poles. The locking mechanism had changed, for the better. The poles collapsed to a smaller length, better. The adjustable straps on the grips are now much easier to adjust. . . . I hope the adjustability feature lasts a long time. The only change that I am not positive about, is that the grips themselves, all seem to be smaller in diameter and less ergonomic as a result. I prefer my old squishier, foam grips over these new, harder, cork grips. Overall, I give these a high score, but the grips need to be a tad bigger.
