I'm comparing these to my previous poles; BD FlikLoks, it may not be apples to apples, but you can feel a little more vibration in these and I attribute it to less thick foam on the grips. Also, the wrist strap is not comfortable without gloves. But they fold well and are 1/2 lb lighter than my previous poles.
