| Review: | Excellent paddle for the money, for general flatwater or river use. Reasonably light and strong. | ||||

| Review: | This is a good choice for a back-up paddle. It gives you the option of easy to stow 4 part breakdown, or assembling two half sections for faster access. It is strong enough for all but extreme use, has pretty solid joints, and some feathering to the blade. The cons are that it's pretty heavy and the blades are a bit small. All in all, I think its worth the money for a back-up. | ||||

| Review: | I bought four of the AE paddles. I also have two other brand of paddles and wanted to compare them. We needed light, easy breakdown, and sturdy paddles for the upper Rio Grande. We pack our kayaks and gear down the RIo GRande Gorge. We found the AE paddles worked best. One other brand that i personally used on our last trip kept bending and at one point I thought they would break. Another brand we used was very heavy and had hard plastic rings that made for uncomfortable rowing. The only problem with the AE paddles was when we went to break them down, one paddle gave us a hard time. We found that if we left it in the sun to heat up the release knobs loosened and were easier to manipulate. I would defintely purchase AE paddles again. | ||||
