Super light comfi poles
Way lighter than expected, the lock system works firm and smooth. The grip is the best part. The only hard to manage part is the strap, a bit light. With mittens and wind you expend some time opening the loop.

Best ski touring poles
These are the best ski touring poles I have found. There is a subtle hand hold that most long grip poles don't have (folkrm, etc) that keeps your hand engaged to the pole. Super light weight and seem like a strong construction. Not sure why these aren't being made anymore so I bought another pair!

Lightweight
Love the extended foam grip. I do wish the very top was rubber or more “grippy” when I use it to adjust my risers. Love the simple design of the handles. Overall very happy with them and in fact have already bought my wife a pair. Great poles!

So light !
Love how light it is when I use alot during whistler! It doesn't fold fit in backpack but still retractable. The paint scrap off very easily but actually looks very cool . Bright green is great for safety too. Highly recommended if want lightweight pole yet strong

Disappointed
Lock doesn’t hold. Strap comes off easily, and does not go back together without creative engineering. Grip is minimal, insufficient for me. Hard to justify the expense.

Need or want
This was a want purchase and I have no regrets. These are the lightest poles I’ve carried and I love the foam grips. I have the older carbon poles and didn’t think they could get much lighter, I was wrong. The reviews about the paint are right , it chips off easily but I don’t care so much about looks as performance. The wrist straps were easy to take off but I had to figure it out. There are no directions for that process. Love love love these, definitely worth it.

Vapor Carbon 2
I like the changes in the new Carbon Vapor 2 from my previous all Carbon poles. I like the longer foam handle, sturdier flint lock mechanism and light weight. As usual, solid simple gear! Cheers Terry
