Great poles, but...

By markk Ranked #170 - Backcountry Ski Poles January 8, 2011

Very good poles, extremely light and compact. The locking mechanism is adequate, I think BD can improve a little there. My major complaint is with the basket. Upon installing, I felt like the plastic wore away a little when I screwed them in. That must have played a factor since the first day I used them one of the baskets came off as I was skiing back (luckily it held on the ascent).

Credit BD support however, I wrote them and got a replacement right away in the mail. I would probable give these poles 3 stars, but with support like that I had to give them extra credit!
