i don't see anything wrong with buying fancy ultralight gear as long as you're informed and willing to drop bank on the best. by "informed" i don't mean some youtube shill recommended it, i mean you've got enough IRL backpacking experience to justify the purchase based on your actual use case.

knee support is pretty great when going downhill in any situation. i'd been using some knee braces for CVS but they're uncomfortable and do nothing for balance. i'm also a new englander so we tend to go straight up and down small mountains instead of using switchbacks on big mountains. $100 for a basic aluminum leki set seemed like the most durable value option for this kind of terrain.
