    Mens/Womens? I couldn't see any difference

    So I needed to replace my old black diamond z poles that I'd had for years .. and I mean YEARS (so these things obviously last)!

    I wanted the womens z poles, in short because they were a cuter color - but I couldn't get any in the size I needed, however the mens poles (which honestly seem to be the same but a boring blue) were available so I went with them.

    I love my poles - they get me up hills and perhaps more importantly - back down them as the old knees aren't what they once were - all in all - I highly recommend them!

    Lightweight and folds up so small

    I have been hiking for years but never really used poles until we did the Kepler and Routeburn this January. I loved these poles. They are super lightweight and they fold up so small. They provided great balance support and helped navigate the rocky sections going up and down. And Gearshop had them at a great price.

    Excellent!

    I wanted poles that I could use on the track sections where I want them, and that I can stow when I don't need them. These are perfect for that - super light to carry on the pack and really easy to flick back into action when you need them again. My only hesitation is that I can't expect carbon to be as robust as aluminium.
