I'm bloody rough on gear. I can't get more than a trip or 2 out of carbon poles, especially the macpac ones there absolute crap.
Had some high end leki poles also shit out.
Can't recommend these enough

You must be uber fit at the moment.

I'm still on 15+ year old Leki Makalu twisters, similar to yours @BRADS. I've never had a problem with them slipping down, as I give them a clean every now & then. No different from looking after other gear that gets used out doors. If I replaced, I'd stick with the brand.
