The aluminum one is really nice... Mine was reasonable in price too. Less than $20, and Dunham's here gives a discount if you have a AAA auto insurance membership. So I got that discount too.
Some cost almost $100!
I used it all winter, since I cannot walk well on ice anymore.
The Coleman one I have has a spring inside too, to help you grip.
The tip comes off and a pointy thing is there for ice.
It telescopes up into a small size like a small folding umbrella.
I did attract alot of unpleasant attention at work...the snarky people there
always made fun of my limp etc...you know the cruel small minded ones....
but I didn't really let them get to me. The pole worked really well, walking long distance from parking lot to door. At our age a serious fall can be fatal now,
not just embarrassing.
