I've been hiking with an older model of Leki poles for years and I love them, but I recently upgraded to these and they're so light that I've taken to trail running with them over the past few months. Even on long days, the foam grips never get uncomfortable or sweaty and I can adjust them to my needs or easily pack them away in a side pocket when I'm not using them.
