"We bought this poles for hiking in the Sierras. These are very well made and light. But they are a bit too long even after folding to fit into luggage."
"Compared to carbon poles, these are just as light and durable. Flint Locking system is reliable"
"Lighter than the carbon ones and 1/3 the price. Therefore: these are the best. I have 7 other sets of BD poles to compare them to. They don’t collapse as short as the 3 section poles… but neither do my skis."
"Who could resist? Inexpensive, super light, adjustable, due to aluminium probably not fragile. . . what's the catch? Had to find out. . . listed 227 grams per pair is actually per pole. Someone wasn't paying attention. They're going back"
