20+ years and going strong
These poles are bombproof and perform great year after year. Flicklock never slips, grips are comfortable, I could go on. The fact that I have 20 year old Traverse poles that are going strong means that these extra pairs that I bought on sale will last longer than I will.

High quality poles
I got these because they were on sale BUT would have paid full price for them. I actually lost my first pair of these and ordered a second because i like them so much. They are light weight, sturdy, and collapse enough to put in my backpack polehole. The baskets are easy to put on too. Not much more to say but HIGHLY recommend getting a pair if you are comparing between these and another pair.

Well made and very happy
These pills have been great for backcountry skiing. They are sturdy and well-built. Flick-lock is easy to use and screws can be tightened if they every slide. The baskets are difficult to fully snap in place, but persistence is rewarded with a firm hold. Very happy with my purchase!

great new poles
these poles are solid and sturdy. the grips felt good n my hand and the straps adjusted easily. plenty of room for my gloved hand to fit through. the longer length lets me use them for both downhill skiing and cross-country.

Durable, lightweight aluminum poles
Love these poles, they are my standard workhorse poles from resort to backcountry. I love that the adjustment is back to a standard screw rather than needing a small special tool to adjust the tightness of the clips. The extended grip is a little lower down than in my previous version which I like better, although there is a gap that isn’t covered by rubber in this iteration which I don’t like (minus a star), I’d prefer it to be continuous rubber with something to rest my hand against, ideally two such bumps for adjusting grip on the uphill. Otherwise you can’t go wrong with this pole.
