I've used these for about a month now on steep hikes, peak summits and backpacking and they have been very stable and dependable. I love the small cork handles and easy adjusting points. The poles shrink down to about 14 inches to stow, which is great for stashing on my pack. The tip caps have held up well so far. Quality product and great price point. My only gripe is that the men's version of this pole has a lower foam grip to easily transition to steeper terrain, but the women's version does not have this feature. I also already lost the locker that clips the poles together.
