Just got my alpine carbons in the mail today.
Pretty. Effing. Spiffy. I really like the design of the handle and while the palming surface isn't as wide as my leki poles, overall between weight, the ease of the locking system, the choke handle, and the design of the cork handle, they're superior to my rather beloved leki poles. If you're a handstrap fan like I am those are some seriously comfortable straps.
Gonna test them tomorrow! I look forward to it.
Edit: Well that sucks. Something is rattling in the handle of my left trekking pole. It sounds like a screw, or what I'm more afraid of, a chip of carbon fiber from a crack or something like that rattling around.
Contacted Black Diamond to see if I can disassemble this or if I need to return it or what.
