Poster: A snowHead
|
I need to buy some new poles.
I am quite fussy and like thin poles that have a low swing weight.
A while ago (six weeks or so?) there was a thread where somebody had a link to a shop where carbon poles were about £25.
can anybody remember that thread....I have searched various combinations but can't find it.
An alternative source would be just as good. I like Leki for their break-away straps, but others are OK too.

rungsp, there is only one - Scott's Element 5 carbon pole. Nowt special about the pole but it has the best grip/strap (called the Notch/Strike) on the market. Get Scott's 80mm powder baskets at the same time.

spyderjon, the Leki Deep Powder baskets are 115mm across, fold down flattish for flying, and adapt to the angle of the slope so the disc is flat to the slope no matter the angle of the pole plant (including uphill on tours).
And they fit Scott carbon and Kerma carbon poles.

I'm a big fan of Carbon poles, nice and bendy but snap when you want them to..
