Buy collapsible do you mean telescopic. If so Face west is a good place to start.

provenjohn, it's worth paying a bit extra for ones that only collapse when you actually want them to. check out the black diamond flicklock system - the best I have found

Yes I had a pair that collapsed at all sorts of unfortunate times and I paid a hundred quid for them. I gave them to stronger blokes than me to try and secure them but still they gave up sometimes. I have now ditched them and bought a pair of ordinary poles.
If I go touring again or even day touring I will just go back to the old method of wrapping some sticky tape around the middle of the poles!

provenjohn, It ot was me... I'd stick with ordinary non-collapsable ones - much less to go wrong on a tour. Having a 120 cms pole turn into a 40 cm one at the top of a pitch does not inspire confidence !

quite, for ski touring normal (light) downhill poles are fine, you might want to consider collapsable for ski mountaineering. The 25euro decathlon poles and the 11 euro Lidl poles are not really up to extensive ski touring although they work a lot of time. Trab probably make the best fixed poles for ski touring if anyone is interested in performance.
