[pct-l] To shocks or not to shocks, that is the question...

[Paul Robison]

i, personally, go no shock because i never noticed them helping,  and no shocks 
are lighter.   'swing weight' of a pole is huge compared to pack weight,  a 
couple ounces is a big deal.

I use poles with shocks, but have never noticed that they make any difference.  
The important thing to me is that they collapse into a smaller length for 
carrying in a pack or duffle bag.

  Hey, I was wondering if anyone had input regarding trekking poles with
  shocks. Is the feature really necessary? I'll be using the poles for my
  Shangri-La as well, and was wondering if shocks pose issues for shelters.
  Any input would be great!
