For backpacking I'm not sure if these are sturdy / strong enough. I'd be near 250 lbs with all my gear. Any one have an idea?

Paul321I used these across Spain @ around 225lb for 35 days. They are just like new. I bought 2 sets from Massdrop last time, one remains unopened. I keep my eyes out for the best poles, and none seem to beat these.

JimBWell that is quite the ringing endorsement. Do you have a photo to share?
Paul321I'm 220 without gear (250 +/- with pack) and did not feel that the Compacts were fragile at any time. I specifically put a lot of my weight on them to see how they'd respond. As I wrote in our review, they flexed smoothly and sprung right back. I wouldn't be uncomfortable taking them backpacking.
