Comments about LEKI Poles Diva Antishock Trekking Poles (Women's):

First off, I'm a 27yr old male, but these poles are the best choice when looking at weight. The pair weighs just over 15oz! The other sets I was looking at weighed in around 20oz+. The Diva grips feel a bit smaller than the "male" versions, which for me is nice. Also, they have gold colored upper shaft, but it's a really nice look, nothing really feminine about it. I have used these poles in the Smokies on countless hikes and will never hit any trail without them. Also, they collapse to a very short over all length, so you could even pack them in a check-bag when traveling, or just have an easy-to-stash set of poles for your pack.

Overall I looked at all versions of the brands we carry, and would choose the Diva AS again. They are very solid, offer good suspension or lock out, and are very easy to swing.
