My new trekking poles

I have been using trekking poles for exercise almost every day for ten years. My old ones were cheap, and I wasn't really satisfied with them. It was to tricky to adjust the length of them, and they didn't keep the adjustment but shortened after a while. Recently I learned that there are hight tech poles available on the market, so I did some research and finally decided on a new pair. They don't have the same weakness as the old ones. But they were expensive. However, if I use them every day, they are worth the CA $130  I paid for them. 

Since the first photo was totally misleading about the length of the poles, i replaced it with a new one.
