    UPDATE: I bought the bargain Walmart trekking poles. These should hold me over until I become a professional trekker.

    Wall mart flip locks then buy a set of blackdiamond tips and you have awesome poles on the cheap.

    i'd just run to one of your big box stores and grab a pair, can usually pick up the pair for around $20.....pry cheaper than anyone is gonna be able to sell you a pair especially when you add shipping onto something........

    don't know if you have already tried a pair or not, if not this is a cheap way to see if you like them or not and there not bad poles, i have had both kinds (twist locking and flick locks) i preferred the flick locks, bent the heck out of one this summer and since i had only spent $20 no big deal, would hate to do that to my $100 pair

    I've used the Walmart poles this past year and they work pretty good... The baskets on mine have ripped off, they tend to slide shorter throughout the day (not bad but annoying), and I think one of mine has started to bend a bit because it has become very difficult to open/close it. Even still they are pretty nicer considering the price.
