Ski Pole - RE.7+

Wrist strap came apart on my 3rd day.

Tested these poles out first day of the season in Whistler BC. First impression is excellent, the poles are lightweight yet sturdy. I like the closed loop strap, with no buckle to catch on other gear. Baskets slip on and twist to secure in place. The grip fits well in my hand as a women, who typical wears size 7 gloves. I also really appreciate the colour design and the fact they are made from recycled aluminum.

I received these products for free from the REI Trailblazers sampling program in exchange for my honest review. These ski poles are wonderfully light and strong and I ike the fact they're recycled aluminum. The grips are a good width and I especially like that the straps are easy to adjust. Overall great product and love the colors.

The first thing I noticed about these poles was the great grip on the handles. The poles I used for last season we slick and would slip from my glove fairly easily. I can really feel the groves in the handles, which really help with maintaining contact. Boy are they light, maybe I've never had poles that are this light, but I honestly didn't realize poles didn't have to feel cumbersome. I really like the color and design of the poles as well, they really sparkled in the sun and snow.

I recently got a pair of these poles after snapping some black diamond poles. I do a lot resort skiing in Utah so was looking for a sturdy pole that was lightweight. These have been great! I would highly recommend them.
