4.0 out of 5 stars
Almost as good as Finnish ones, July 13, 2006
This review is from: LEKI Nordic Walking NW Spin Poles (Apparel)
I am really pleased with these, although my comparison is to the non-retractable Finnish Exels that I normally use and that is why I give a 4. The rubber shock absorbers have taken well to the concrete pathways I frequent and I'm happy to see that after several hours use they don't yet show much sign of wear and tear. I have yet to try them on a tarmac surface and see if they do as well. The only drawback on this model has been the lack of hold on wet concrete and the need to make sure the poles are screwed tightly to the desired length and don't suddenly retract. Otherwise the fact that they are retractable makes them easy to travel with. They were however too long to fit into my suitcase, so don't count of stowing them in there when travelling by air. A good buy, but much pricier than in Finland.
