"Seem pretty strong. Lock to adjust length works well, easy to use while wearing gloves. The ice scraper edge on the grips is very handy. Easy to adjust grip strap length. The only thing I find missing is a hole to help hold them together for carrying, but I'd definitely buy them again."
"Definite upgrade from the Traverse poles, lighter and easier clasp, but the colors - foam green and bronze/gold - belong in a Paris fashion show, not the backcountry. If they weren't such high quality - and at a great sale price - I would have bought something else."
"Looking forward to putting these poles into action. I wanted the ability to adjust the length rather than carry 2 sets. The build quality is very nice and the durability looks to be the same!"
"This has been a great pole thus far. No concerns with durability, and the added features of the pole for the backcountry are greatly appreciated. My only complaint is that the weight and balance of the pole can make it a chore to plant at times."
"These poles are awesome. A ton of features and well thought out. There are lighter poles out there but I’m not looking to save a few grams to run the risk of breaking a pole and ruining the day."
"I broke my last 3 poles just skiing/on the up (6’2” ~185lb) - these seem thick and sturdy and that they should last. not your poles if you’re counting grams"
"High quality! Fantastic color scheme! Love these poles and expect them to be with me for the next decade. Very durably made!"
"Pretty colour and adjustable. All you need in a ski pole"
"The color is nice and the quality seems good too!"
"Bomber all purpose adjustable poles. Women will love you. Rabid animals will fear you."

Stand straight and bend your elbow at 90°. Measure the distance from your fist to the ground, then add about 2 inches to account for the pole tip that extends beyond the powder basket.
