[QUOTE="Anemone del Camino, post: 359617"] Hi Laurie, I am n'the mot so proud owner of 3 pairs. Yes, always looking for the best next thing. o_O All three are carbon. The fisrt was the collapsable/hight ajustable. I did struggle at times with them, not being able to open or lock them in place, but that's because that was Camino 1 and I had little experience with all things walking. I then bought the Blac Diamnod Z something or other, because I would not have the ajusting issue and because they fold in 4 pieces and not just 3, which means they travel in my back pack. Then I found this Forum. Oh my poor budget: Pacer poles, Macabi skirt, Merino, Buffs, really, people, my poor budget! o_O So I bought the Pacers for the Primitivo. They didn't fit in my original 34 litter bag (very heavy in comparisin with what is now on the market so I do not regret the newer Osprey I now have), but do in the new 44 litter back pack. I have no problem with ajusting these, guess I am now a Camino pro! All this to say that other than not knowing how to ajust my first pair, and them being too long for my first back pack (travelled tapped to,the outside of my backpack in the hold) but would fit in thr new one (also bought to fit a sleeping bag), I see no difference in all these poles, including the Pacers. In fact, I would venture to say that if using the Pacers properly I would have to keep up with them at a much higher pace than I like. Guess that is why they are called "pacers"! I also did not find that ajusting to a particular length really made a difference. I am not about to staet shortening amd lengthening based on terrain. If Santa wants to bring you kindly used "Camino experienced" poles he may want to stop and visit the elfes at my work shop :). I am inclined to sticking with my Diamond Back Z someing or other.
