Leki Carbon 14S Pole

Still Liking Leki

aschick

Pros: Trigger S system, swing weight, carbon feel

Cons: Expensive on sale, really expensive when not on sale. Slight worry about having them stolen. For the price they should include powder baskets.

This was an upgrade from an older Aluminum Leki pole with the older trigger system which was a bomber pole and I liked the trigger system. I wanted to upgrade because I wanted to move from a 50" to a 48" pole (very happy with that choice) and really like the feel of carbon - springy and doesn't send the cold straight through you if you are holding the shaft or sitting on it on the lift as I...

“These poles made a big difference for me as they don't drag in the wind, which helps the swing of the pole.  The carbon poles don't bend and give more shock relief for the wrist and elbow.  Pole comes with removeable straps, powder and racing baskets and length can be adjusted by unlocking the grip and twisting.  The straps will release if caught on a lift, tree or fence, or if you need to...” --Cirquerider

2012 Sick Stickz Powder Plunger Ski Poles

“ I picked up a pair of these poles this fall and I really love them. The shaft is strong, the grips and straps remind me of my old race days, and the tips are quite pointy. These poles are priced right and really an excellent option for anyone who loves skiing pow/big mountain. Love to support the small local CO companies too.  ” --blade4life

LEKI Peak Vario S SpeedLock

“ I was lured to these poles by the twin siren-songs of adjustability and carbon fiber.  I've always been unsure of how long my poles should be, especially for different situations.  I just couldn't bring myself to buy nice carbon fiber poles (for the low swing weight) and then butcher them down to a single permanent size.   In use, these poles are really nice.  The...” --Xela

Swix Viper CT3 Ski Poles

Swix Viper CT3 Ski Poles

“Found these on sale online and have to say, one of the best recent purchases I have made.  Between the smaller diameter, the balaced swing weight, and lighter construction, the viper ski pole is great for those who ski hard all day and are looking to reduce fatigue.  I used to be one of those who felt poles were just poles,........not anymore.  Well worth the investment if you ask me.” --Aireggers

“ These poles are the best poles I've used over my skiing career. They feel great in your hand, they are very strong, and they don't look half bad. A powder basket can be put on with an adapter so no worries about that. I don't think I'll be buying new poles anytime soon.” --Spookfish

K2 6 Karat Ski Pole

K2 6 Karat Ski Pole

“Got these as an end of season sale, so the price was greatly reduced.  The grip is fit for women's hands and it fits PERFECTLY. The hoops for your hands to go through are just the right size, and they are pretty schnazzy looking if I say so myself.  Compact, lightweight, but definetly watch for theft! They are very eye catching.” --khale19

“ Technically speaking I think these are a Carbon 14 Trigger S.  Using these versus the regular old ski pole strap takes a little adjustment but once you make it you'll likely never go back. The convenience and the ease of releasing the pole from the strap alone makes these worth looking at.  The grip itself seems to promote a more fluid pole swing in my opinion and it helps that they...” --wikked1

“Great solid BD gear. Patented flip-lock system works well. Have not had to use the probe - but would be a pain (as you have to take off the powder baskets) - good idea though” --Bird Blaster

K2 Barber Pole One Color, 46in

“ I have always been the kind of guy that looked for the cheapest pole available believing that it didn't matter what I was using. Poles are poles right?   I forgot my poles, and decided to bit the bullet, pay a few more bucks and try out a composite pole. I normally use a 48in pole, but these run a little bit long so I went with the 46in. The handles are low profile, and I enjoy that...” --ecimmortal
