I thought I'd drop a quick one here to help any other seekers out there. I like using poles for steep trails and as a way to break up the monotony. I've used the BD poles previously. I switched to these after losing one of the others. Anyway, I love the removable wrist strap system. Very secure and yet easy to disengage. Very clever. The weight and durability/stiffness seems to be in a sweet spot. I take away one star for the grip taper at the top of the pole. I'd like just a bit more diameter there, I thin...

Nice shorts but the sizing runs small. I'm 6', 170lbs. 31 inch waist. Medium wasn't even close. Sending them back for a large. Fingers crossed.

I was excited to get these. Sportiva typically fits my low volume foot. The sole pattern looks favorable to the typically muddy Alaska trails. However, these run quite small. I have a pair of 44.5 and 45 Bushidos from a few years back and got these in a 45. My toes are right at the end. I'll try a 45.5 and see if I have more luck.
