My Blackdiamond Alpine FLZ poles broke after 4 months / 15 times of normal use. During a normal walk one of the poles suddenly broke and I had an accident because of this. Just to make everybody aware of the quality of these poles: Blackdiamond even refused my warranty claim saying that these didn't break because of a manufacturing defect. As they broke after 4 months during a normal walk I can only assume that the quality is really poor and that these poles are extremely unsafe. I'd avoid buying those because these poles could really cause serious harm to your health or even death. (They also write this in their T&C and they are very right about it!). I was using the "stronger" Aluminium version of Alpine FLZ poles because I was worried about Blackdiamond FLZ poles Carbon Fiber version to break one day..... ha ha ha ...
У меня аналогичная истори, при чем я отходил еще меньше. Предыдущие палки от этой фирмы у меня прожили 5 лет , прошли множество походов и до сих пор живы. а тут ... при чем во время также прогулки.
