I used to think trekking poles were a waste of space. Why would I need those when my pack is so light? Lately, though, I've realized that a pair of poles would make things a little easier.

I've never owned a pair before, but I've done a little research.
Here's the list of features I want in order from most important to least important:
-Comfort
-Durability
-Weight
-Packed Size

Price is no object. I'm 166cm tall (around 5'6").

Please share any experiences you've had with poles. Thanks!
