Poles are good for weak knees! By The flower lady from Portland Oregon on 10/22/2009 Pros: Easy to adjust, Good grips, Lightweight, Strong Best Uses: Backpacking, Day trip, Hiking Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: After happily having used Komperdell poles for the past twenty years, I bought this particular set for my daughter, who has knee problems but still loves to hike. I have had the exact same pair for at least five years, and find that using them on steep downhill trails eases the pressure on both my (metal replacement) knees. I use them for hiking, snowshoeing, and for cross-country skiing. I appreciate being able to adjust the length according to the use. And I love that they telescope down to a size that I can carry in my pack, if I wish. And, an added bonus is that using them tends to keep my over active cattle dog from crashing into me in fits of excitement!
