Pole Perfection
Kim Havell: 
Light weight durable poles that are ideal for the backcountry. Easy & strong fliplock adjustment for use on the fly. Comfortable hand grips, as well as strength in flex, and strong, light pole baskets. Also highly recommend purchasing the whippet attachment for these poles, which has a seamless fit and is a must have addition for any ski mountaineer or off-piste explorer. Have used these poles for a multitude of backcountry adventures, as well as for expedition skiing and they have performed perfectly and saved a considerable amount of weight.
Solid poles
Darren_g:
The flick-lock mechanism does not slip at all and is easy to adjust. They feel fairly light, and have help up to my abuse so far.
Very satisfied.
petroglyph: 
These poles feel light and are well constructed. I enjoy being able to use them for Alpine skiing, Telemark, Nordic touring and snowshoeing because of their adjustability. I read other reviews of poles and felt like the twist lock type poles tended to collapse pretty easily, which would be very annoying. I have not had that problem with these poles on the last 8 days out using them skiing. I am very satisfied.
They take a beating.
AllenBskier1:
I skied over 85 days last year with these Black Diamond poles. That included BC, park, tele, alpine, trees, moguls, anything. These babies held up admirably under all conditions. They took quite a beating and came out fine. They are super easy to adjust when touring. I use mine 10cm shorter when tele skiing than alpine skiing. This is my go-to pole for both! Simple and effective.
Great poles
Techweenie Todd:
I'm extremely fond of these. They are indeed cheap, which is always nice, and work great and don't weigh much. Do make sure you keep the flicklock thingys closed when transporting, as when they're open the screws tend to self unscrew from your car's vibration and you'll find you've got non-locking poles when you arrive at your destination.
