quality is as good as price paid

From what I have seen the quality is much better than most others in this price range.  Very  much better.  Not on par with a pair costing a hundred-fifty or a couple hundred dollars, but then again no one would expect it to be.

Reviews are what they are and depends on how the poles are used, snapped a couple of Costco ones off going off trail. Don't go into it thinking that all carbon fiber poles are the same. If you are going down a trail and not putting a lot of weight on them they should be fine.
