Review on 🏔️ Cascade Mountain Tech Trekking Poles: Carbon Fiber Monopod Walking/Hiking Sticks with Accessories Mount and Adjustable Quick Locks - Enhanced Performance and Durability! by Sean Flint

These are light, strong poles that are comfortable to the touch. Positives: 1) Synthetic cork handle and top. Feels good. The contour lies comfortably in the hand. 2) Light weight - 16 oz. per pair (albeit heavier than more expensive carbon poles)3) The ability to unscrew the top of the grip and use the pole as a monopod is a nice, if unnecessary, addition.4) Comes with a pouch that stores the end pieces in one keeps zip pocket.5) Very reasonable price. Cons: 1) Bulky. If you disassemble the bars and unscrew the end of the handle, you can fit the bars into a 24-inch space, but they won't fit in our carry-on luggage, even when disassembled and stowed diagonally across the main body. Baggage. We have Leki carbon poles that fit really well (and cost four times as much). BTW: 1) The quick release buckles on these poles are a little big, but they are easily adjustable by hand. If you can handle the size, it's definitely a steal. But they are big, even broken. If you're using your poles to scale waterfalls in a stream through a slot canyon, you're probably using aluminum poles. In a situation like this in Turkey, I used aluminum poles in the strangest way - even abused them - and they are perfectly preserved. They were made of cheap aluminum, but easily withstood the loads put to them, climbing ledges and striving for waterfalls. I wouldn't want to use carbon in a situation like that.
