[QUOTE="StevethePlanner, post: 359631, member: 43597"] Walking north from Porto along the coast is mostly wonderful new boardwalk. Nearing Vila do Conde, I tripped and fell on a loose board on an older section of boardwalk. Down I went! (PLOP!) Luckily no major harm done, but one of the aluminum poles bent as I fell on it. These poles were borrowed from my son. I'll be buying my own set (a Christmas present to myself) and decided, based on this experience, not to buy carbon poles due to its brittleness. Strength and light weight aside, I feel it would have snapped on my fall. The aluminum mostly straightened out. Don't want shocks. I've seen the outdoorgearlab site - very informative. Based on a recommendation from my son (who works at REI) I will get Leki Micro Vario Ti COR-TEC. Sometimes the "Z" poles do not adjust, but these are adjustable. A bonus is they will fit in the backpack easily for airline checking. [/QUOTE]
