“Great Poles, Bad Hand Straps”

“These poles have decent stiffness, good cork grips, and are very lightweight. For the money, it might be hard to find a better carbon pole. The handstraps are near worthless if your hands are big, though. The strap is so short that I had difficulty fastening them over thin, size large XC gloves. Impossible to fasten over normal winter gloves. I guess you could try to sew more velcro onto the strap. The straps are removable, so I just swapped them out with some nice ones from my older poles.”
