[pct-l] Costco CF trekking poles -weight question No 2.

[Kathi]

I had a pair of the poles from Costco and I had trouble with them coming 
apart all the time. I would be walking along and then notice the end of 
my pole fell off and I would have to go retrieve it. I had everything 
tightened that could be tightened and messed around with them a lot to 
get them to work. I liked the price but ultimately after a couple or so 
trips I returned them.
