Ski Poles Graphite Carbon Composite - Zipline Lollipop U.S. Ski Team Official Supplier

I loved my Goode’s for 17 years! Unfortunately, they got so old that the grips literally started to melt and turned into a gunky mess. Since I’ve grown acustomed to composite poles and couldn’t find any Goode’s this late in the season, I decided to give these a try. A great looking pole! The grips aren’t as nice and rubbery as the Goode’s, but still very good. I like the easily adjustable straps but wish they were a bit wider and thicker - still worked well though. And although they were a bit heavier and thicker than the Goode’s, they were also stiffer - which is a good thing. The Zipline carbide tips are the best I’ve ever tried - planted fantastically! I also like that the baskets are easily changeable, so I’ll be buying some powder baskets soon (available on their website). So overall, very happy with my purchase. Let’s see if these last me another 17 years.

A ski pole is a ski pole, until you look at small details. One, carbon fiber poles have a smaller chance of being broken or bent in airline luggage handling. Two, the grip is shaped to prevent a gloved hand from slipping down around the pole during an aggressive pole plant. Three, the strap adjustment is part of the top part of the grip, so there are no plastic buckles flying around to smack you in the event of an errant pole plant in large bumps. Great ski pole.

I bought these poles late in the season, and was only able to use them once before all ski areas were shut down due to the coronavirus. However, that one day of use was enough for me to see how great they are. My previous poles were absolutely useless in icy conditions; forget trying to pole onto a lift - I felt like a rank beginner trying to get thru the lift line and thru the gate. These poles performed wonderfully on ice - they gripped very well on all the iciest spots. They're also lightweight, with a comfortable grip. Plus, I bought them in chrome - beautiful. I'm very pleased. Good price too, for the quality. So, 2 thumbs up for these poles!

I enjoy using these poles, very light weight and durable. I used them on my first ski trip, mind you I was a snowboarder for 20 years. I learned to ski in around twenty minutes. The poles were a good height, and the strap held up well on the first five trips I did. The strap released well from my hand on a fall I had, which was on my second trip, and it made me more comfortable with the poles, for safety. I hope they last for years to come.

I bought these poles because I had been using the same poles for 20 years. these are so much lighter and the grips are great. the price really cant be beat. I saw similar poles at local ski shop that were $30 more. just make sure you buy the correct size.

Great poles, just bought, used all week up in Vermont skiing, been skiing 30+ yrs.... solid choiceI'm 6'0" and went with the 50" -(127cm) poles, perfect

Straps are falling apart ... In the middle of the ride I lost the pole because of straps detached from the pole .. First I put them together and not to long after I lost the pole on the lift chair ... After a 45 minutes I finally foud the pole with untight straps and the little peace is missing ... For 75 bucks it should be much better poles .. These ones are not worth a penny .... So disappointed... ....

Looks like a good pole.. the straps were twisted but I was able to fix that. They are pretty thin poles, but I guess the fact that they are Graphite will keep them from breaking. I think that is the style now? The graphics are pretty cool.
