If you're riding this winter at Mt. Hood, you might catch the K2 team sharing your lift. They're out there 100 plus days a season testing and developing the future in skis, snowboards, bindings, and poles. Technology like fiberglass skis and wide-width snowboards were pioneered under K2's watch; and if it's possible to one-up their technology, the graphics do it. It's a unique look you can identify with, but can't be mistaken for anything other than K2.

I have had 2 sets of these poles and both sets have had the metal tip come off of the pole. I guess if you only use it out west this situation probably would not happen. I really love how light this pole is and how easy it is to use. The easily adjustable strap makes using these poles with different sizes gloves a snap, so on a cold day when I go to mittens I don't waste a lot of time messingg around with my poles. The wide leather strap fits well on the back side of gloves or mitts and provides a nice swing point for the pole. Like I said before, I really love these poles.

Bought these poles when my Lekis broke after 20 years. These poles are even lighter than my Lekis. Swing weight is perfect, took awhile to get used to the straps but now it's easy to put straps on and off. Like the feel of the leather grips and looks great. To top it off the red color poles match my K2 skis perfectly. These poles should last me another 20 years. The price was a steal compared to the ski shop in Tahoe. Thanks K2 and Peter Glenn.

Used the poles for 12 days of skiing so far this season at Big Sky Montana. Skiied everything from the top, bumps and glades. In everything from fresh powder to steep and icy. The interchanable baskets are easy to change and really do make a difference. What I liked most about this product is that the swing weight was very light and they seem more durable durable than the aluminimum poles I had been using. Trees tend to reshape metal poles. My wife also bought a set of K2 6 Karat poles with the same type of leather grip. The draw back with this grip is that two different K2 dealers were unwilling to cut the pole down an inch. If the sizing is correct this an awsome all mountain ski with great versatiity.

I had Leki poles for over 25 years before one broke on recent trip, just received these K2 poles and can't believe how much lighter they are, grips feel great, the red color is awesome. I can't wait to try them out on the mountain. The price was a steal compared to the shop Peter Glenn, perfect service & shipping.
