Silva carbon poles?

Anyone have experience with these?

https://silva-canada.com/products/running-poles-carbon-110-cm

I was a dedicated Leki user for years but I recently had a less-than-ideal experience with their customer service, plus they're very pricey, so I'm feeling as though Leki and I need some time apart.

I did love the Shark glove system vs. wrist straps. That brought me to Silva as they have a similar-looking system- however, it's hard for me to tell exactly how it works and I'm not sure whether to trust that kind of attachment for hard use. The loops on my Leki gloves were the first points to fail, and that system was "cleaner" and simpler-looking than the Silva attachment.

Silva doesn't have much market share here in North America, so I'm hoping some Europeans might have experience with these and could chime in.

Thanks in advance!
