Re: Photon Pro vs Fenix L0D I just got a Photon Pro, and it's really neat, but I have never handled any of the Fenix or Surefire models for comparison. The Photon Pro switch allows you to dim the light level just by hold... |

Black Diamond Spire Elliptical Trekking Poles I was intrigued by these initially because of the ellipical shafts - definitely seem stronger/stiffer on the principle axis than comparable weight round poles. I was willing to live with the 20 oz pe... |
