Disappointed
Similar to John, after keeping them in extended position on a 30 day hike, the middle sleeve jammed on one after 10 days and the other a week later. I was later advised to collapse them every night so I did that. Now I can’t extend the top section on one and the other takes me a lot of effort to fully extend for the button to click and lock.

Better construction materials required
The blue plastic between the poles hardens and cracks making it difficult to deploy the poles quickly. I got the first set replaced in warranty but 6 months later the second set did the same. I decided to live with it because I didn't want to create more waste for the environment, but now after storing them in extended position the button on one is stuck, and the bottom sections on both won't come apart because the inner alloy sleve has corroded and jammed.
