Meets expectations well.

I'm looking for a rod that won't fade in stiffness, so-called For race poles (which you notice easily in ice skating, especially on hills) but they wouldn't break as easily, so I chose these. Since the rods are new, I can only confirm that the stiffness is at the level I expected. If you can edit the review, I will tell you if I was disappointed. What I did not expect was the so-called Shark system with which the "glove" is attached to the rod. I plan to upgrade the system to all my rods if the thickness of the blank is suitable and invest in a set of Shark system gloves.

The previous bow guns were immediately left as spare rods. I didn't even realize that poles could be light and stiff. The Trigger Shark handle is good

Excellent stiff and durable poles! I bought it mainly for particularly long, light downhill ski hikes on hard snow/sled tracks/trails. Doesn't break from the first bumps, intention to use the pyramid tent as a central barrier - no doubt it will work there too. Lekki's Fin Vario replacement snow plow system should also have an option for a much larger soft snow snow plow - the largest separately sold snow plow is quite small compared to other manufacturers' soft snow slope plows. I might change the other tips. The Trigger shark system works excellently, makes skiing much easier for those suffering from snap fingers. I also got trekking poles with the same system. Although hiking/running poles have an easier release button, these require a little technique practice. The S-M-L size hand strap worked well for a size 9 hand and has room for gloves. After all, you can also get ski gloves with that attachment. With the handle equipped with the Trigger Shark system, the rod measures 160 cm in length, approx. 157.5 cm measured up to the attachment loop. I went a couple of centimeters too short to shorten my own rods, I didn't realize to take into account.
