Still probably gonna replace my ghetto poles with BD Expeditions, but these were interesting.

thanks for the input Kyle! Can you shoot some more details on em? the website doesn't give much info. are you able to set them to any length? are they sturdy etc? are you able to compare them to the BD expedition poles?

I've got a pair of the K2's im gonna use this weekend hopefully and will post an update on my thoughts as well.

Any further thoughts on these? Any icing concerns with the mechanism?

My room mate has a pair of them but I don't know if he has taken them out in the snow since he bought a new sled this year too. From playing with them in the gear room they have a few novel features and seem to be decent. The grips are comfortable, they have extended foam down the upper tube with depth markings for checking depth of snow, they have a little lip on the grip to catch on heel wires to make it easier to pop up the lifter and they are adjustable in length on the top tube. They collapse pretty small too.
