I really like these poles. They are really lightwieght and hardley noticable, which is good for you people who think it feels good to ski without poles. Even though they are very durable and hard to break I broke mine, but this site was really good about sending them into warranty for me. One of the things I dont like about them is it's pretty hard to figure out how to put the baskets on, but once you know how it is quite simple. I compaired these poles to my other poles which are the same size and they are a little bit larger than they say so you may want to order a size smaller than what you would normaly order, unless you like your poles long. The grip is awesome its not to hard and it's not to soft it feels very comforatable in your hand it's just about perfect.

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!
