Mountainsmith Andesite NEO Trekking Poles

These are the lightest poles I've used.

Used these on a three-day trek. They are incredibly light and comfortable. The twist locks haven't slipped at all. The cork grips are nice since they absorb sweat. Would definitely buy again.

The poles are great once you get them set. The twist locks can be tricky to tighten evenly, but I've had no issues on the trail. They are very sturdy and ultralight. Good buy.

I've owned expensive carbon poles before, and these compare well. The weight is outstanding. The foam grips are comfortable even without gloves. I highly recommend them for any hiker.

These poles are light, but they feel a bit delicate. For rough terrain, they flex a lot. I use them for day hikes, but wouldn't trust them for heavy backpacking.

They are so light I forget I'm carrying them. The twist locks are easy to adjust. The baskets are decent. Great for trail running.

The poles are light and durable. My only complaint is that the wrist straps are a bit thin and can dig into your hands on a long hike. I replaced them with padded ones. Other than that, they're great.

One of the poles snapped at the locking mechanism during a hike. Not durable enough for my use. Very disappointed.
