I have yet to use this outside but it seems to be the same as a more expensive brand that I have.

Enjoy better traction while on the snowshoe trail with these Atlas adjustable two-section poles. Offering a maximum length of 130 cm, the poles make it easy to establish a rhythm on your hike whether you're trekking through thick powder or navigating icy conditions. The poles are constructed of lightweight, seamless aluminum tubing, with alpine powder baskets and steel flex tips helping you find your balance in uneven and technical terrain. The poles are also easy to hold thanks to the gender-specific plastic grips and the adjustable hand straps. Best of all, the snowshoe poles collapse into a compact footprint for easy packing. The Atlas poles--which weigh 1.3 pounds total--carry a limited lifetime warranty.
About Atlas Snowshoes Winner of the American Alpine Institute Guides' Choice award since 1996, Atlas snowshoes are the performance choice for professional guides, outdoor enthusiasts, snowshoe racers, and even the Special Operations Forces of the U.S. military. The Atlas story began in 1990, when founder Perry Klebahn--who was looking to snowshoeing to help recover from a motorcycle injury--grew frustrated with contemporary snowshoe designs. Klebahn soon developed his own ideas and created a revolutionary new snowshoe as the theses project for his graduate engineering degree from Stanford University's product design program. Applying for patents on the original Atlas snowshoe, Klebahn was awarded the first patent granted for snowshoes in over 40 years. As development continued, innovations such as the dual crampon design and Spring-Loaded Suspension System became tenets of Atlas snowshoe designs and helped revolutionized the sport. Based in Seattle, Atlas has been awarded 19 patents, from heel cleats to contoured footbeds, SureClick buckles, frame-frame tail joints, and the company's latest--the elliptical cross-section tubing that provides the strength and durability of the company's 7075 ReactiV frames.

Redfeather 36 Hike Control Recreational Snowshoe Kit with Poles and Bag Review

I have only used My Redfeather snow shoes twice so far but they seem to work well. Not quite as stylish as some of the other brands, but they work as they are supposed too. I use them to hunt coyotes in central Minnesota, I like to get off the road 1/2 mile or so and with this years deep snow they were a must. Kind of wish I didn't buy the poles as I have not used them, but oh well at least I have them if I ever want too.

LA CROSSE Technical Snowshoes All work and no play is not the Winter People way. Our industrious nature is so refined, so focused, so supremely acute, it demands that we clear our heads with extremely intense adventures in the snowy landscape. Yes, that's right. The kind of adventures that require a serious, hard-working snowshoe that eats up mile after mile of deep-snow-covered trail. And an aggressive crampon design that increases stability on tricky descents.SIZE: model 25 | weight (Ultra/Pilot II): 3.5 lbs./4.5 lbs. user weight: up to 175 lbs. model 30 | weight (Ultra/Pilot II): 3.8 lbs./4.8 lbs. user weight: up to 220 lbs. model 35 | weight (Ultra/Pilot II): 5.6 lbs./6.3 lbs. user weight: over 220 lbs.

Crescent Moon Trekking Poles Review

Crescent Moon Trekking Poles
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These poles arrived very quickly and were as advertised. I have used trek poles for years in doing archaeology in the Flint Hills and I wanted poles to use for urban walks on concrete and asphalt. I got these poles because they were advertised as "shock absorbing". Maybe I should have done a little more research. Shock absorbing can barely be felt with the poles, which I have not tried out in the field yet. So the 3 star rating is less the capability of the poles as the description being less than I felt would have told me that when we talk about absorbing shock, we are talking about a "give" of 1.0 to 1.5 cm. These poles are a little heavier than my old ones so I'm not sure what my arms will feel like after a day in the field with them. I am sure they will give me the same service in the Flint Hills of Kansas and Oklahoma that my old ones have done. For anyone who has not used trekking poles before, be sure and do your homework.

I ordered the Tubbs poles hoping they would arrive before my scheduled snowshoe/ski trip. They did! The poles were exactly what I was looking for. I used them for snowshoeing and my friend borrowed them for x-country skiing. They were wonderful. I fully recommend the 3-piece poles.
