Expert Opinion

Outrageously light and plenty durable, these have been my go-to for the last couple of years. They pack down so small that I can justify bringing them on a much wider range of trips, and my knees thank me for it. They've been through a fair amount of abuse, and aside from the expected paint chipping, they are holding up incredibly. Just make sure that you extend them all the way until the clip has engaged and they'll be with you for many years.
