Åsnes alloy pole produced in a solid 7075 alloy quality. This pole is adjustable (2-Section) and can be adjusted from 110-155cm. The well-tested Flick-Lock locking system secures the pole in a selected length. Nato Alloy 2-section is adapted for Nordic Backcountry skiing and has a long narrow grip produced in EVA material. This to adapt/change grip when moving into steep terrain and when using a sled. Wide straps gives solid support in steep terrain and constructed with an easy adjustment of strap (also with the use of mittens/glows). Wide basket in PA/Nylon and Hypalon. The diameter of the basket is 125 mm and secures sufficient support in deep snow.

Lasted over a year of fairly heavy use, i.e. in a marten forest in varying conditions. Of course, these wouldn't withstand any side impacts, but hardly anything can withstand abuse. The best part of the poles is the length adjustability. The straps also work well, as long as you have the patience to familiarize yourself with the adjustments. The long loose end of the straps is a bit annoying, especially in strong winds, when some kind of rubber band adjustment to prevent banging is in place. The handles are durable. The stock and tip have lasted so far. The material is aluminum, which is probably better in terms of carbon footprint and recyclability than composites.

In a closed forest (approx. 50cm of snow), too short even for a 184cm skier at its longest when the boot sinks into the project. Good games with a good acquisition base. The seam of the thongs of the second pole started to fray a little on the first ski, but the other seams were in good condition by the end.
