Weight fib

By rldsjudd811099 Ranked #790 - Telemark Skiing February 10, 2009

My postal scale says these poles (w/ baskets) weigh just over 9 ounces apiece--30% more than the stated weight (if there's a 14 oz pair in the warehouse, I'd be happy to ship these back and trade). I've had a set of the carbon ones for a few years--the swing weight and balance are great. However, the poles tend to occasionally slip to a shorter length if over-weighted. If pole collapses make you crazy, as is true for other members of my family, BD's flicklocks will serve you better. Also, for those who contemplate removing the wrist straps, a warning: I'm a mechanical idiot, but I can't figure out a reasonable way to reinstall the straps, once removed, into the pole handles.
