I've got one(and this isn't intended disrespectfully) -

What makes your poles any better than the 15$ ones I get from the local shop.

7075 aluminum is a good start. and at $35 with free shipping, seems like a cool product and the loud colors can make you stand out!

Yep you hit the nail right on the head! We think the poppy colors will help our riders stick out weather its blue bird or ripping at night! We understand some are willing to pay a hefty price for their poles but we've found out from talking to our riders and others that most would like a cheaper pole that helps them stick out!

We want to make quality poles for a solid price that just about any kid could afford! Hey you drop more than $45 on hoodies, or even gas now days!

Hey if you can find a decent pair of poles at your home hill then hell go for it! Most resorts charge over $50 for a lower quality ski pole so we are taking a different approach to reach out to our riders!

Product driven, but all the influence comes from our riders, weather pro's or those just learning to make their first turns everyone has a say in our products!

No doubt man! Free Shipping makes everyone happy!

We'd love to hear your input NS'rs! What do you want in a ski pole? Price? Design? What colors would you like to see? We truly want to make poles for the people so let your voice be heard!

I think if you guys did some unique patterns/color ways it would get alot of attention.

I think a camo pattern, or maybe some animal prints or native american patterns or something would be tight, just a few ideas.

I think grips would be something design wise that could be better. like Scotts new poles are using basically MTB grips, then you have armada with a chunkier "bmx grip"

If you came up with a cross breed of the 2 could be onto something.

I like who ever said animal prints.

I think it would be really dope if you guys did more of a true hunting camo.


Like this design down the top half of the shaft, black down the bottom, with orange baskets and handgrips. That would look really sick and stick out from all the other camo's coming out right now. Just my 2 cents tho.
