I've found BD poles to be excellent. I just bought my mum some Carbon FLZ folding poles and they are also great. The metal locking mechanism is a nice touch, added to the fact you can get spare parts for it.
I think that a ~500g, three piece adjustable set might get a bit tiresome for trail running, but it depends on the distance you're going and how many times you collapse them or extend them during a run.
Thanks mate, I appreciate this feedback. I've never actually seen any IRL before but they certainly look really well designed. I've generally found BD to be good for other stuff in the past but mostly carabiners and that sort of thing.
Think I'll take the plunge.
