Seem decent, still haven’t figured out how to get baskets on poles.

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.

Great poles for a great
Great poles for a great price. Baskets were tricky to put on, but figured it by applying a lot more pressure. I've only used them twice so far, but adjusting them was easy. Wide baskets make them a little difficult to use in conditions other than powder-- it was sometimes hard to get good traction in icy, dust on crust snow.

As advertised, Great!
Everything you need in an adjustable pole. Lighter than my carbon resort poles. Seem durable after a few days of riding. Excellent value!

Functional. Came from an older pair
Wish the baskets were partial baskets as your old poles had. Hard to release my 22 Design outlaw x bindings.

Excellent Poles!
I'm an alpine ski patroller and love to get into the back country. These are perfect for uphill treks and downhill groomers. I especially like the rubber grips below the handles and the wrist straps.

Light, fast, and comfortable!
I’ve taken these poles into the mountains of Montana twice now for some long days of skinning deep into the Wilderness and they do not disappoint. They’re easily adjustable, super light, very sturdy and I love the lower grips for quick steep uphill transitions.
