User Review: Komperdell Contour Foam AS

Komperdell Contour Foam AS
Above: The current Contour Foam AS, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 2 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $85

I would not recommend this pole. I have used them about a year on about 20 hikes. Top part of pole broke at handle early on and stayed attached by a small piece of metal.

A couple of weeks ago I had trouble adjusting one of the poles and could never get one section to lower. Sometime during the hike, the section fell out, and now the pole is useless. A week later the broken portion at the top of the pole finally came off along with the wrist strap.

Now both poles are pretty much useless. Not what I expected for $90.
