[pct-l] treking poles

[William Canavan]

Hi Happy Plate,
On the AT I had problems with my Leki poles twice, breaking the bottom
section of the pole I was holding in my right hand.  I went to the nearest
outfitter One was in Daleville, Va, the other in Lincoln, N.H.  Both times
the outfitters fixed the poles right then for free, so my Leki experience
has been excellent.  Did you try going to a Leki retailer instead of
dealing with Leki directly?

Wow, not my experience at all.  My pole caught me, but bent at the bottom.
 I figured, oh well - at least I didn't fall.  Contacted Leki USA (as an
after thought - heck, I had already bought new ones) and they sent me the
lower section and now as good as new.  It was within a year of purchase,
though they never asked for proof of purchase (just where I bought them).
