Åsnes Combat 2-Section Pole

Nice poles but they do seem to scratch easily.

Stable and well designed. Good with double grips and the extra length compared to other similar telescopic poles. Very easy and quick to adjust the wrist strap when, for example, changing between mittens, thinner gloves or bare hands.

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.

Good rods. They came to snowshoeing and have done their job well.

Ok rods. You should tighten it properly so that it doesn't sag when you use it.

Ok poles for downhill skiing.

Good poles and a nice long grip area. The length adjustment works well. I still haven't figured out how to keep the lid on the most securely. The hand straps seem to get frayed/unsightly quickly. But they are the right ones for my needs!

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.

Easy to adjust. They play even in dead ends.

Easily adjustable and durable poles. There is flexibility and length up to 155cm. Maybe a little clumsy. The hand part is made of comfortably warm and reasonably durable material.
