[pct-l] To shocks or not to shocks, that is the question...

[Rod Belshee]

I did one thru-hike with poles without shocks and one with shocks.  Didn't 
notice any difference.  Seems like the shocks are just extra weight and more 
parts to fail. YMMV.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had input regarding trekking poles with
shocks. Is the feature really necessary? I'll be using the poles for my
Shangri-La as well, and was wondering if shocks pose issues for shelters.
Any input would be great!
