Intro

Basically unchanged, it's still a complete two-section telescopic pole. The sections are in 16/14 tapered aluminum, as is the clamp. Its large, six-petal tilting basket and elongated tip won't catch on the terrain. The extended foam grip is ergonomically shaped and the strap is padded and easily adjustable. Its swing weight is somewhat noticeable on the wrist, but you can offset this nicely with a shorter length. Excellent value for money.
