"These backcountry poles are a lot of fun. They have a good usable swing to them. They lock in and dont move. Sometimes the baskets can feel a little heavy when holding them behind. Id say there are little vibrations up the poles when I plant on hard surfaces."
"Great quality."
"great set of poles for the powders days and work well on the groomers. love the adjustability and versatile handles. quality is top notch too"
"Looking forward to breaking these bad boys in!"
"Great, lightweight, works as expected"
"Love the Colors, can go up to 160cm love em"
"great poles with a strong clasp to lock in the length. I especially like the extended grips allowing for different hand placements while touring without having to stop and adjust the height"
"I use my poles like Xcountry skiing. I pull myself along and up steep hills for hours every day with my two husky-somethings providing excellent companionship. My complaint - one pole continues to slip and needs continuous adjustment to get back to its set height. Also, I go through the bottom part of the poles very quickly and need replacements often when the spiky part of the shaft crumbles. Alas, no replacements have been available for months meaning I have to buy a new pair!!!!! This really sucks. So a great hiking support is this, but I need replacements available to keep me going."
"I purchased a pair of these after my trusty old Razor carbons had enough. I skied on these for about 5 days, and the top of the handle just ripped right out of the shaft. Seems like BDs quality is slipping. Also, submitting a claim for warranty now takes from 3-6 weeks for BD to get back to you. Looks like I’ll be heading to a local show for an orphan for the time being. Not really worth the price tag associated with these poles."
"solid, lightweight, easy to adjust the fliplock, love the strap safety mechanism. Great product"

Stand straight and bend your elbow at 90°. Measure the distance from your fist to the ground, then add about 2 inches to account for the pole tip that extends beyond the powder basket.
