Highly Functional
These poles are super light. The feature on the grip works really well for adjusting AT bindings. I love how far the foam grip does down the pole. Great design!!!

Great Poles
What is this witchcraft? I held these poles and forgot they were in my hand. The packaging was great, delivery was quick and free, but most importantly, the poles were amazing. In fact, I went and ordered another pair for my mom for Christmas. If you want great performance feather-light poles, get these. Great price by the way:)

Bought 2nd pair bc we all like these poles
Husband bought these last year. We ski, we hunt with them bc of the awesome extended grips, strong ski pole and single pole. Great price. Wish for this pole to continue but new colors. The green doesn’t come close to matching my skis!

Reminder to hold on…
Not yet skiing - so just by comparison these are light! Excellent for the weight weeny 👍 Skinny at the bottom one has to see how they hold up if hit by a ski edge. I will not use them to hit snow off branches during tours. The powder basket is medium size, might sink more than some other poles in Utah …

Very Light
Works well with my Vapor Carbon 2, the other of which shattered on static compression (failed while being used for support when adjusting the heel tower on a binding, plopped me right down in the snow). I only need one adjustable pole for up-hilling. Really appreciate the light weight. We'll see how it holds up. Everyone should have a pair and a half of ski poles.

Buyer Beware
I broke a pair of these late last season, kept the 'orphaned' pole as a backup and ordered a replacement pair for this season. One of the new ones broke in a routine fall in the backcountry - not a place to be down a pole. I combined the two surviving poles but one snapped just pushing off while skiing resort a couple of weeks ago. These things are just too fragile to rely on. Use at own risk. Frankly, in my view they should be taken off the market.
