[pct-l] Antishock Trekking Poles

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

Another vote for non-anti-shock poles. My first poles were a gift and  
they had anti-shock that twisted on or off. I could never really  
figure out how that worked and I could not really tell the difference  
between the shock and the anti-shock. I think I had one stuck on  
shock and one stuck on anti-shock the whole time. You freely-moving  
arms are not forced to absorb any shock from the ground. It's a  
gimmick plain and simple.
