WINGET Carbon Fiber Mountain Alpine Ski Poles XA-80

Great poles. Lightweight and exactly what I was looking for. These will work perfectly for my needs. Cannot wait to get on the snow with them!!!! Also, came on time and exactly when they said they would.

I got the 105 size of WINGET Carbon Fiber Ski Poles XA-80. They are just as described, 105 cm in total length from the tippity tip, to the center top of the grip. The fit was perfect according to the chart that's on the product page. These are just as good as $100 ski poles from Goode or any other brand of carbon fiber poles. The grips are grey and a smooth plastic with nice curves for fingers and a nice grippy texture in key places. The poles are black in color, with a small amount of flex and a graphic of carbon fiber on the top half. Tip is a sharp steel tip.

Good poles. Light, slim, strong, and a great price. The only complaint I have is that rubberised finish on the handles is starting to wear after just a few weekends of use. It's more of an aesthetic issue rather than performance.

These are the absolute worst poles I have ever used in my 25 years of skiing. Why do you ask? Well were do I begin: 1. After 2 runs, the wicket completely broke off of the pole. See image. (I went to 3 ski shops to get them repaired; no self respecting ski shop stocks this type of wicket.) 2. They are SO flexible. When trying to remove my boots from the bindings, they just flex like a noodle. I had to use my other ski to remove the bindings. 3. The build quality is terrible. There is excess flashing all over the handles. (See image) 4. The carbon fiber look is painted on. Not real. (See image) Save yourself the trouble and buy different poles. Or just ski without poles, that's what I am doing for the rest of my ski trip.

I was wondering if it would be a right purchase before placing my order since the reviews I saw were either very good or very poor. A friend of mine using this brand last winter and told me the poles were pretty good for him. So I made a decision to buy two sets for my kids. The first impression is very good, they made by solid materials and it comes with an extra pair of wicket. The amount of flex and rigidity are in good level. Everything looks right so far. Will try to update the review after they were used.

Carbon fiber poles are supposed to be the perfect balance of weight and strength, but these can’t be very sturdy since they arrived completely broken. Had to return. Glad I got my money back.

These are my first set of carbon poles. Very lite weight and strong. I like them a lot.

The rubber stars on the bottom fell off the first time using them and were lost ok the slopes, so they are now useless.
