These poles great for split-boarding. They are light weight yet strong, and super collapsable which is key if you are carrying them on you're back. I love to use them in the summer for heavy backpacking as well. Mine have held up great for the last 3 seasons...

Yup, this is completely normal...haven't noticed this causing a problem though for me over the years. Am on year 5 of my pair, have broken them a couple times, but can't blame anything on the quality of the poles. Am a splitboarder and these are great since they collapse short and nicely fit on my back on the downhill.

so i already asked this question below, but not sure the answer was correct. mine, when fully collapsed, have about an inch or two of give when locked down completely — down where the poles taper to their smallest point, even though they're locked, they slide up and down about an inch or two. is this normal, do yours do that? i went to REI and as far as i can tell, they all do that.
