I have a pair of 4FRNT poles, and they are the strongest pole I have ever had. Two seasons and they havent bent once.


And I fall a lot.

Also, they are super fucking light

I've had the same pair of scott poles for a few years. they're bent a tiny bit but I bend them back and they're still good.

free ones

I have a whole mess of rentskis.com poles that I use. they are actually stronger than any i've purchased. Joystick poles, i may be the first one to say it, are absolute crap. They look awesome but they bend so easy! I've never kinked them so thats a plus but if i tap the snow off my boots after hiking they get all bent up. worst poles i've ever had, but i use them every day.

goode. composite/fiberglass or whatever it is. flexible and wont stay bent.
definitely not worth ever paying $50 or more for some aluminum bendable shits.

My swix freeski ones are legit. Haven't bent once and are super light. Plus they look pretty steezy

i have had a pair of free rentals for the past 2 years. there flimsy as hell but when they bend i bend them back. i've thought about line poles though. i could never spend more then 20-30 dollars on poles
