Pros: always love cork, lightweight
always love carbon fiber, lightweight
the tips can be changed for different functionality
Con: the strap does not adjust & lock into place, so they ALWAYS gradually move into the loosest strap slack when hiking.
The loose strap may make you fiddle around with grips while moving arms. So there is the potential to be less accurate when placing pole in steep cliff areas, so a bit unsafe as well. Wrist or forearm skin can also start chafing b/c the straps are not properly fit. I can tie a double knot, but it's an unideal & crude solution compared to other poles' locking ability.
That's my review & those were my experiences.
The 1 con mostly makes them to a backup set, or letting friends use. This is b/c when hiking 15+ miles, it's best to have properly engineered & functioning gear.
They are a great bang for your buck tho, b/c you cannot find cork & carbon fiber anywhere else for that price.
A great long-term review is here [andrewskurka.com]. Summary: they're good, and there's only two slight downsides. The original plastic locknuts can break (you can replace with metal ones from the hardware store) and the carbide tips will wear out a little faster than expensive poles, but you can replace them.
