Life-Link Guide Telescopic Ski Poles

I've been using a pair for 2 seasons now & they refuse to stay locked unless they are extended all the way out. What's the point? Sometimes the tips come loose, but won't disengage from the lock barrel inside & cannot be removed to function as an avy probe. This behavior is unpredictable & cannot be renedied when it happens. Also: If you're skiing freshies or are in & out of the freeze all day those grit collars will turn to ice. Don't hold any hope for making adjustments then... & don't hope to save your buddy with the avy probe function- they won't come apart in time! Ultraight? 17.1oz on my scale.

Lighter than most non-adjustable poles, easy to adjust in the cold while keeping gloves/mittens on, length markings on carbon shaft in both cm and inches, soft rubbery grip, large powder basket, visible red color. Easy to convert to avalanche probe, but practice if you plan to use instead of a true probe pole. DON'T use to knock snow off boot or ski! Carbon poles can break in cold weather if struck against a sharp item (like a metal ski edge). Otherwise, they're nearly unbreakable with normal use. I have a ten year old pair I still use and just bought 3 pair of these for the rest of the family.
