Ski Pole - RE.7+

Wrist strap came apart on my 3rd day.

Used these poles at the resort and on a recent backcountry tour. Love that they're made from recycled aluminium and have a lesser carbon footprint. They held up well, were clearly sturdy yet incredibly lightweight compared to my trekking poles and resort ski poles I've used in the past. Have tried with and without snow baskets, both do the job and the baskets seem to stay on well. Handle grip was very comfortable, I don't typically use the loop on poles so can't comment on that. They also look good; my only critique would be that they were slightly too tall/long for the indicated height in the description. Otherwise, highly recommend for an affordable, durable, sustainable and high quality ski pole.

Took these snowshoeing as we're having a terrible start to the ski year here in the PNW. Fingers crossed it gets better! The poles were great, I am hard on my gear and I like that the straps seemed sturdy and easy to adjust. I have previously snapped a pole and these felt more solid than that pair. I think its great that the poles are recycled, hoping for more gear like this. The baskets were easy to change. They seemed comparable to my Solomon poles at a more reasonable price.

Tested these poles out first day of the season in Whistler BC. First impression is excellent, the poles are lightweight yet sturdy. I like the closed loop strap, with no buckle to catch on other gear. Baskets slip on and twist to secure in place. The grip fits well in my hand as a women, who typical wears size 7 gloves. I also really appreciate the colour design and the fact they are made from recycled aluminum.

I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. These ski poles are wonderfully light and strong and I ike the fact they're recycled aluminum. The grips are a good width and I especially like that the straps are easy to adjust. Overall great product and love the colors.
