Constantly Collapsing
By Anonymous
Ranked #616 - Telemark Skiing
February 22, 2006
These poles are buff and I like the big snow basket, but for some reason the locking mechanism on these poles doesn't work well and my poles are constantly collapsing on me. It’s not very fun when you're going up a steep switchback or poling across a flat traverse. I'm switching back to the fliplock type of locking mechanism, from my experience it seems to hold better.
