Great news in Country Walking magazine this month !
The new Provolution pole is the CW Winner in their walking pole test.
The verdict by the magazine's resident gear tester Tom Hutton is:
"19/20. Light yet incredibly tough trekking poles, with comfy handles and straps, and a superb flip-lock locking system. Hard to fault in your hand and on your pack"
Tom compared all the poles in the test on several different walks, awarding marks for comfort in the hand, ease of adjustment, usable length (important for taller or shorter folk), weight, pack-down size and if course strength.

Hi, I've got a pair of Hillmaster Antishock poles, with whose help I have walked in the Pennines, the Pyrenees, the Alps and the Rockies, so you will understand when I say that I have become rather attached to them. Well, recently, whilst walking the 'South Downs Way', in Sussex I snapped the bottom adjuster on one of the poles and was wondering if it is possible to replace such an item. If it is then I am quite adept in the manual repairs department and would probably be able to effect the repair myself if only I can get hold of the bit. (White plastic with screw thread and domed head inside black cup-like piece). I would be happy to pay by credit card if such a bit were available by mail-order or you may have a local stockists who sells spare parts, if so could you let me know. I live in West Sussex, near to Chichester.
