As someone who knows the gear, I'm starting to recommend a heavier wood these days. Recommending a heavier wood. Basically keeps you more stabilized due to the heftier trail feel. I know the gear! And these days I'm Recommending going a heavier wood!!!

I broke a Costco Cascade Carbon pole in some talus at an inopportune moment and decided to go aluminum. Bought Leki z-poles because of the lifetime warranty and love them. I have forgotten all about the ridiculous price.

I sense that you're recommending a heavier wood

I have a pair of LT5 from Gossamer Gear. The grips are EVA foam, shafts are carbon fiber, tips are carbide. Feather-light, durable, and comfortable. You can also replace sections individually. Pricey at $195, but worth every mile.
