Staff Pick

I use these poles now 100% of the time. I don't need adjustable poles. I used to think I did. I feel so much more agile and less tired with the ultralight swing weight of these carbon straight poles. They feel as light as a feather. The hand strap is super thin and soft so you don't need to flip it out of your way when grabbing them. Just grab the grip right over the strap, or put your hand in it. No fuss. I really don't ever put the straps on, those are for fast resort skiing. Occasionally I put the straps on to skate ski across a long flat stretch. But generally it's faster and safer to ski without hand straps. I don't want poles without straps....these are money. You'll see!
