<description>LEKI Devine Aergon XL Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair - Women&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Anyone have a pair of these Devines (XL or normal) or any other Leki that can comment on the antishock suspension and whether or not having it always be on is a good thing?  Or if you notice a noise when they&#x26;#39;re springing?  I was asking out on a backpacker website and I think I ran into a bunch of &#x26;quot;light is right&#x26;quot; duders who just hated the idea of the antishock and so couldn&#x26;#39;t comment on any positives of it.</description>

<description>LEKI Summit Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;I just bought a set of these poles, but wanted some feedback on the grip angle.  I&#x26;#39;ve read only enough to be dangerous, but these seemed to allow more of an agressive ascent, however does that affect your angle when decending?</description>

<description>LEKI Diva Aergon Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair - Women&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Two questions about the grips--are these actually cork as the descrption specifically states?  Because the picture sure looks like foam.  Also I just want to confirm as these are referred to as women&#x26;#39;s trekking poles that the grips are in fact smaller than standard trekking poles.&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Third question:  It seems like many complain about the twist-lock method of extension in general.  Has anyone NOT had problems with this system?</description>

<description>LEKI Luau Trekking Poles - 1 Pair - Women&#x27;s&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;HEy folks, Iam trying to lighten up my poles.  I am convinced that the black diamond clips last longer.  In the past the locking system on these Lekis like these have not.  Did they improve the system?  Does anyone have any negative experiences with this system.  The weight is perfect.</description>

<description>LEKI Sierra Antishock Trekking Pole - 1 Pole&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;Write your question here...I bought collapsuble sierra hiking poles about a month ago.  I thought they were fine until I tried to reset the length and lost the ability to skew the end into place.  What is the make up of the interior of the pole to skew into?  Is there a part missing?   Any suggestions of where to go to get them repaired in Columbus, Ohio?  I got them on line and can&#x26;#39;t find my receipt. ..so don&#x26;#39;t know who I got them from.  Thanks for any suggestions you can offer.  CWN</description>

<title>gearing up for AT thru hike. have never used poles. don&#x26;#39;t</title>

<description>LEKI Carbonlite Aergon Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;gearing up for AT thru hike. have never used poles. don&#x26;#39;t see the need for them for many miles of easy terrain, however can see their usefullness while making steep uphill/downhills. Based on reviews and trail journals from thru hikers I refuse to waste money on Black Diamond poles due to customer service lack of compassion for a thru hiker in the middle of God&#x26;#39;s nowhere in a delima over faulty product and having to take the brunt. So, I&#x26;#39;m going with Leki cuz it seems they have no quams for such delimas and cater to thru&#x26;#39;ers. My question is this...can anyone point me out to a decent pair of Leki poles that are lightweight, compact (for storing while strolling easy terrain), easy to adjust that DONT cost 200 bux? I&#x26;#39;m sure this all may be a tall order, but thought I&#x26;#39;d give the BC community a try at this one. Thanks in advance!&#x3C;br /&#x3E;&#x3C;br /&#x3E;4/12/09...thanks for the help andrew...looked like good poles; however, ironically I was able to nab a pair of these carbonlites for a buck 0 - 5 on SAC!!!</description>
