Don't even need Carbon, every carbon pole I've own just breaks within a year and warranties on carbon are garbo. I use Aluminum and yeah it's heaver but they are so much more durable and have much better warranty
If you go too cheap, the poles will be super noisy, and the adjustment levers will break. But, no, you donât really need all the bells and whistles that make some of these poles cost a lot more.

Which one has that sweet spot/good value ratio?
@@themodularmodular I have the Fizan Compact 3âs. They are lightweight, strong, quiet, and have never failed on me.
@@daven.7685 Good stuff! I was between Fizan and Cascade, went with the latter for being cheaper, weâll see
@@themodularmodular Good luck, and happy trails!
I got some carbon poles for 35 quid grips arent great, but it's great for a beginner
