Thrift store. If they don't have the size you want, buy a longer pair, slide the handle off, cut down as needed, and put the handle back on. A stick is a stick is a stick.

Use if you must for a try, but it's just two more things to hurt yourself with.
I get used poles at the thrift shop to mark my driveway for snow blowing. Get them super cheap.

Yeah just buy from the thrift shop, anyone who buys expensive poles also owns a dental office.

2 szns ago I bought a pair of Roxa poles at my resort for $35 bucks. They were like 60cm so I cut them, spray painted them, and as some of you know I added death tabs to them. Best decision I ever made those things are durable asf for some reason
