Leo ★★★★★

Packed these for a weeklong trip and they disappeared into my 40L pack, which never happens with my old fixed poles. The 20cm adjustment is handy when switching from uphill to flat, and they feel barely there in hand.

Charlotte ★★★★★

After two seasons of use, the 20cm of adjustment has been perfect for switching between skinning and steep descents, and they still feel rock-solid. I can't believe how small they pack down—they disappear into my pack's side pocket and I forget they're even there.

Henry ★★★★★

I was skeptical about the collapsing mechanism at first, but after a few trips it’s honestly the best part—they pack into my carry-on without snagging anything. The 20cm of adjustment is plenty for switching between hiking and ski mode on the fly.
