Great pole at a great price By Christian from Buffalo on 01/26/2010 Pros: Durable, Ergonomic Grip, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great skate pole at a great price!!!
By XC skier from Madison, WI on 01/03/2010 Pros: Good Stiffness, Lightweight Cons: Cannot choose strap size Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These are nice stiff, lightweight poles, especially given the price. Mine arrived slightly longer than was stated, but they're easy enough to cut down (or have a shop cut them). Weight after cutting was 438g/pair for 165cm length, including baskets and straps. In response to a previous comment: the straps do detach, but the first time you pull the black tie/yellow tab up, it takes a good hard pull. Subsequent releases are much smoother. The only drawback of ordering through a non-ski specific site is that I would have liked to be able to pick a strap size. Mine came with XL, and I usually fit M better.
By RP from Ontario, Canada on 11/05/2009 Pros: Ergonomic Grip, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Just getting into Skate Skiing this season. These poles are stiff and light. The grips don't seem to have a release. Minor issue. Looking forward to trying these out this coming winter.

By jeanthibca from St-Georges, Qc on 12/31/2007 Pros: Excellent Shock Absorption, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Advanced Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Very good pole, stiff, light and relatively inexpensive. The grip fit thin gloves best, as the velcro strap should be 1 cm longer.
Real skate poles at a reasonable price By LLars from BC Kootenays on 12/05/2007 Pros: Durable, Ergonomic Grip, Good Precision, Good Stiffness, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Replacing another model that I ordered that were said to be for skate skiing, but definitely weren't. (way to skinny and whippy) [...]These have fat, stiff and light shafts...just what you need for skating. To some these might not seem like a super buy, but keep in mind some racers (and some fanatics...) will spend hundreds on a pair of skate poles.
