Buy these before you buy carbon if you are not sure you will use poles. Aluminum bends and can sometimes be bent back. Carbon snaps. Check the locks in the store. A pole that collapses on a descent is not a bargain.

Who should buy it. Beginners and tent users who need two poles now.

Best for. First poles and tent support on a budget

Standout limitation. Heavier, and the locks vary by batch
