I've used these on a couple of trips now - super comfortable, nice and light and flip lock.
When I was researching poles and trying a bunch out, I decided to go with flip locks - twist locks just didn't seem durable and seemed like a week point in the strenghth and design. In the little bit of testing I did - I didn't find a twist lock that I liked.
Flip locks add a little volume and take away from the streamlined appearance, and probably hurt your aerodynamics a miniscule amount - but they felt so much sturdier, and I like that you can adjust the gription of the lock mechanism.
