First, please trim out the entire digest from your replies and/or posts.
This takes up quite a bit of bandwidth for some folks.

Many folks will steer you towards Leki poles, but I have been very happy
with the sub $30 carbon fiber poles I bought at Costco for my hikes near my
home. I do know that Costco has a "No questions asked" return policy, all
you have to say is that you are unhappy with the product, and ask for a
replacement. If you are already a Costco member, or know someone that is,
give them a try. For the price you probably can't go wrong, and can buy a
dozen for what some big names want for one pair.
