By Ranked #180 - Backcountry Ski Poles April 13, 2010

I am done with traverse ski poles, could just be me but all the models Ive had have broken after just a few trips. These are no exception.They seemed sturdy and fine on my first trip, but pushing them a little made em brake. If anyone have recommendations for a sturdy traverse ski pole, let me know!
Oh, and in case anyone wonders, I used em uphill when they broke, was working my way up to a summit, and cant say I leaned to heavily on them either.
