IMO poles are one of the few things i buy like 100% on they're looks, cause theres not much difference between them. i just got this years armada ar6 ones cause they're purple with yellow stripes, which is awesome

but yea check out joystick, 4frnt, armada, and some company that makes like colorado poles? i forget the name.
then there are the big companies like leki and scott and stuff

Kerma carbon poles have lasted me 10 times longer than any metal poles I've had before. Literally. And they're still going.

If you have a preference on the grips and the pole tip, go with that.  I happen to like the scott pro grips and the diamond tip works well on super shitty east ice.  The fact that they are a better aluminum makes them less bendy and more durable.

The quality of materials dictates the price.  Granted there is some markup, but 7000 series aluminum isnt cheap.

i just got some line pin for really cheap at my shop cause i bought some other stuff so it was pretty much like a thank you from the, haha. they're pretty nice and fairly thick shaft so they make resist breaking a little more, the grips are so nice, and they're short plus light...pretty much all you want in a pole if you can get them for cheap or free, oh yeah and they have sick graphics
