>>2216411Those are fine. The biggest difference between higher cost ones and lower cost is the grip/handle. The strap is also something to consider because that's what's going to be pressing into the back of your hand an around your wrist. I have picrel and the most significant difference is the angled handle. The cork is nice and all but it's not a premium feature, but I notice more from an ergo perspective which the angle helps a fair amount. I used my friend's poles just like your picture and there's not much difference in the grips because sweat gonna sweat regardless, but I did notice a slight comfort difference going to a straight pole. My friend agreed that the angle was a nice feature but ultimately not worth the cost alone.
