I’ve heard that from other videos. I’m willing to take a chance on them. I can always go back to. My trusty aluminum black Diamond trekking poles that have done the JMT/HST/Smokies and a bunch more. Carbon is a brittle material compared to aluminum. I wonder how much breakage of carbon poles is related to “bruising” of the fibers. I’ve seen that in fishing rods and fly rods made from various carbon composites.

I've had Gossamer poles before. They broke on me twice on my hikes. Not durable enough to rely on.

J. Michael Perry... I'm truly curious. How did your poles break?
