Not Good
By bri2570352
Ranked #271 - Backcountry Ski Poles
February 14, 2010
These were not good. The locking system spent the whole day coming undone. One pole worked, one did not. Anytime I'd weight it, it'd collapse. Once collapsed, the snow basket would stick in the snow, so you'd have to go back and pick up the bottom section. It was frustrating. Even without the constant collapsing, I found the little things dissapointing. The grips were slippery, especially with fleece gloves. I took them out for one day of backcountry snowboarding and spent to whole day fighting the urge to chuck them as far as I could.
