Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The poles aren't bad. I prefer the cork grip to the typical hard plastic on most XC ski poles.
These are very lightweight and feel good during extended tours.
That said, I snapped one of them in half the fourth time I used it. I had the carbon version of the pole and they are obviously not as durable as the aluminum version that Karhu makes.
I also had a problem with baskets coming off the first time out with them. Thankfully, I was leading the group and someone behind me alerted me to the problem. I really just needed to twist them down as tight as I could and I never had a problem with the baskets again.
I've been forced to go to a cheap Swix model for the time being, but I hope to go with the aluminum version of this pole and pray for better durability.
