Poles are Poles?

I am a big fan of these since they are a bit flexy, Nothing you will notice while pole planting, more for a crashing situation. I have had lighter stiffer carbon poles, but found on a fall or getting the pole jammed in between logs or rocks the lighter stiffer poles shatter. Having a flex gives this pole durability and longevity. Part of the freeride line these poles fit the mold with chrome handles with a rubber grip inlay, pyramid studs on leather part of the nylon straps for a bit of style. Easy to change baskets from hard snow to powder as your season changes. Poles are poles, but you get what you pay for.
