    Pair of Leki Micro Vario Carbon.
    Nice light, Rated 140kg, easy to adjust length for up hill and down hill, Fold up for storage in my bag. I used them 1-2x most weeks on gravel and a mix of gravel/clay for 4-7 km. Saved myself from a rolled ankle last week, rolled my foot but was able to take my weight on the stick which stopped me taking a fall.
    Tips have worn very well.
    Down side is the top of the handle which I use in my Palms for down hills is very hard plastic, They are very rigid so it took a bit of getting used to as my previous sticks had a cork top and some form of elastomeric cushioning.
    The top handle area is angled forward which takes some pressure of the wrists and has worn well.

    Down side is they can be nosy if you hit them against your barrel or something hard.
