    Anyone own a set of the Leupold carbon fibre ones?

    Sounds like they will work well and last. And lightweight.
    These are the ones I use, love them. I like the cork handles, plastic handles get slippery and foam breaks down too quickly.

    Has anyone used the Sky Carbon Evo carbon fibre poles? Got them through Stone Glacier but I am having a heck of a time figuring out the set up. Can't find anything online either. This old phart needs help.

    I have these poles, never had to adjust the flicklocks despite being able to.They have been very good. Parts if needed are easy to obtain

    Those Costco poles look great! On the manufacturer’s website you can even buy replacement sections for $8 each (even the top corked handle portion) should something tragic happen. Might have to pick up a pair.

    I have the Costco ones for over four years now, several fly in mountain hunts, no issues, rely on them a lot.

    I recently bought the Costco ones and so far I think they are amazing.

    I know that poles are great, but I associate them with post menopausal women walking the streets of Victoria in groups.
    When in doubt, just pin it.
