Great pole; however, beware of the very sharp tips. Me, my brand new skis and fritschi binding are not very pleased with the super sharp concave tips on these things. After two trips I fingure out that the tips are super sharp carbid. Not very good if your jabbing said tips into your binding releases or top decks. Also, I slightly bent one of the pole while leaning on it (i weigh 215) on my second trip out with them. Good product and I would recommend them to others, though beware of the tips our you might cause damage to your bindings. Use the handles to adjust your fritschis or file down the tips with a dimond file.
