Huh, I've used the same twist lock Lekis for 30+ years. 70 summits, dozens of pack outs. I have skied with them every year.

I have Black Diamonds. My first pair of no man aluminum were really loud. Using carbon Fiber now.

I have Komperdell. They were pricey. The add miss led that they were something like $100 or 110 per pair.
Turned out to be for each poll.
On the positive side. I have used the heck out of them, going on 8 or 10 yrs now They have a pistol grip type handle so I can put A LOT
of weight on them when packing out or if the knees give me problems before I make it back.
They are collapsible with the flip stye locking mechanism so I strap them to the pack mornings, on the way out.
Despite the price I feel like I have gotten my money out of them. They have sure saved my knees in a couple of occasions

I got a pair of campfire trekking poles back when campfire was still around. They've worked really well for me for a few seasons now, but that obviously doesn't help since campfire isn't around. I would be looking at the black diamond if I was in the market right now. Kind of hard to beat.
