The Graphite Advantage:

• Lighter Weight: The Advantage graphite cane is significantly lighter than aluminum canes.  But, it is also stronger, more rugged, and more durable.  Cane life is extended well beyond that of aluminum canes under comparable use conditions.
• Sensitivity: Graphite fibers allow superior transmission of "feel" resulting in a highly sensitive, more responsive cane for the user.
• Longer Life:  More than twice that of aluminum (average 5x to 6x longer lifespan); BEST value
• Flexibility and rigidity: Graphite canes will flex and return to straight unlike aluminum canes that remain bent.   Unlike aluminum, joints will not stick or become difficult to fold.  Graphite is a natural lubricant and will not corrode.
• Best overall value: Low cost, high quality, user friendly cane.
