Versatile Poles
By jfagan
Ranked #431 - Backcountry Ski Poles
January 25, 2007
This is my second pair (left the 1st in the parking lot)and I don't see why anyone would rather have fixed length poles. I change the length when switching from AT to race or Alpine skis and also when hiking up or down. Once you get the screw set properly on the lock they do not slip. The only down side is that they don't pack up small enough to put on your pack like the three piece ones do.
