    Default WTB: Trekking poles

    Looking for a set of trekking poles that meet the following criteria:
    cork or foam grips (not rubber)
    flip (not twist) locks
    Collapsible (not foldable) and that can extend to a length of 125cm (preferrably to 130cm)
    no anti shock feature
    replaceable tips
    soft straps (no bare nylon webbing)
    aluminum or carbon

    If you've got a pair let me know and let's try to work out a deal.

    Have a look on Amazon. Lots of such poles starting at just below $50. Anything used is gonna cost $10 in shipping alone.

    I haven’t used these myself, but I’ve heard a number of good things about them.

    I've got a set and they're fine. I didn't really need them, only got 'em to see for myself. Just make sure to get the flick-lock version, not the twist-lock.

    I have them and bought them based on this review. I'd buy them again....in fact I will be as a spare set before I return to the UK. They have served me well.

    Thank you to all for your responses.
    I'd briefly looked at the CMT poles but dismissed them as being cheap knockoffs.
    But with the positive words that have been written I'm going to take another look at them.
    The price is certainly attractive.
