The hiking poles are very light and well built and feel good on the hands. The unfolding mechanism is slightly trickier (as compared to another foldable hiking poles that I have) but it is not a deal breaker. Once folded, it can fit well in my backpack. It would have been nice if there is a length between 100 and 115cm as 110cm fits well for my height at levelled ground. As I bought 110-125cm size, the poles can’t go shorter for elevated ground.

I'm very satisfied with BD poles, very light and great support for uphill as well as downhill

Pretty light. Pretty solid. A little over engineered, so could be lighter, and the grips are not amazing, but about as good as you can get without going to cottage manufacturers.
