    I am not convinced that Pacer Pole even wants a larger share of the market. But, in my estimation, the big loser here are us hikers. Most hikers are just not aware that such a superior product...

    Down wins

    Personally I feel down wins out on both counts. It may cost more initially but it lasts far longer. So, while the initial outlay of cash may be more initially for down, once it is depreciated over...
