"Broke these poles 3rd time out" - Review of Joystick The Carbon Ski Poles

If you are looking for a light, in-bounds ski pole and you are fairly easy on your equipment - this might be a good choice. They are very light weight. However, the the point at the bottom of the pole is so short that they don't stand upright in the snow - instead they fall over. If you are looking for a backcountry pole - this is not a good choice. I broke one of these poles on just the third time out - quite a way into a tour no less. They say they are carbon but it definitely looks like plastic in the middle with carbon around the edges. This site has been fabulous during the return process though!
