Hello NABS,
I am writing to get some cane recommendations.
My most preferred kind of a cane is NFB folding cane made of carbon 
fiber. I like it for its light weight, tip, and foldability. But it 
does not seem as durable when it comes to collision. One only lasted 
for two weeks and one before that lasted about 3 months. (Normally my 
canes have been lasting me at least 6 months to the longest I have used 
it was 2 years)
I am a fast walker so I prefer a cane that comes up to about my nose, 
light weight, and a sensitive tip when it comes to giving me the 
information about the ground I am traveling and object my cane hits.

My second preference is NFB straight cane (the one that we can get it 
for free) I use this often but the fact I cannot fold it becomes an 
inconvenience at times.

I just would like to hear others' reviews about different cane products 
that are available.

If you have a cane that is light, durable, and affordable (under $50) 
with a tip that easily gives information, please let me know.

Best,
Miso
