The best
Nothing beats a whippet. The extra degree of confidence is inspiring, and the safety factor is great when. skiing hard approaches. Great addition to any arsenal. Love them.

My new go to winter hiking pole
The Whippet is perfect for my winter hikes and Colorado 14er climbs that don’t require an axe but could use a bit more than a trekking pole! I wish I would have had this up on Chimborazo as a secondary device to my Ice Axe as well.

Fantastic tool for winter in the Adirondacks
Having the whippet ski pole in one hand and my regular Black Diamond trekking pole in the other has added a felt sense of security to winter hikes and climbs throughout the High Peaks. Being able to dig in with the whippet so easily is a game changer!

A solid piece
It seems a quality product. However I thought was two poles instead of one . Quite expensive.

Neat, but It's literally one ski pole
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
This is my bad for not reading carefully, but I returned this. For $120, a single ski pole is NOT what I wanted. Don't make my mistake.

Early season snow test
My first outing with the whippet, found me on variable autumn conditions in the Cascades. I used it from the car, gaining 3000 feet from thin crust to deep powder over a breakable crust. The point penetrated reliably on all surfaces. Are used both the hand grip with strap and grasped the top of the pic, ala ice axe grip. all these positions were comfortable with both hands. Because of the changing snow depth, I tend to lengthen the pole as I climbed into deeper snow, and the adjustments were quick and easy. there was a thin layer of ice on the upper boulder fields in the pole was more secure and reliable than the edges of my skis. I only bought one pole because I intend to hold an Ice axe in my other hand, when the terrain warrants that. maybe I should just have bought a second whippet. Hmm?

Updates look good
I’ve had an earlier model of whippet for ten years or so; it wore out this spring so it was time to try the new one. The removable pick works great; no more leg stabbing down in the trees after the big exposed line. The ability to remove it will be great for multi day outings where it’s not needed all the time. Also, having the shorter collapsed length will be nice for summer outings where it rides on the pack for extended periods. Looks like a solid upgrade to a useful tool.

Whippet
The whippet is light weight and easy to extend. I wanted to try it out for the 90 degree palm hold. It ended up exactly how I wanted it. The ice axe is a nice addition.
