Here's what other sites are saying:

From Teton Village Sports:
"This do-it-all, Life-Link trek/ski/expedition pole is the ultimate pole choice for guides and serious adventures. Converts to avalanche probe. Carbon shafts."

From Backcountry.com:
"The Life-Link Guide Ultra Light is one of the lightest and most dependable trekking poles on Earth. This do-it-all, trek/ski/expedition pole is the ultimate choice of guides and serious adventurers thanks in part to its easy conversion into an avalanche probe. The Guide Ultra Light packs down to 30in for storage in a duffel bag, atop a yak, or on your pack. Great for steep ascents or use as a spring and winter pole for backcountry skiing or snowboarding. A carbon fiber lower provides incredibly light swing weight, while the snag-proof trekking baskets protect the flex tip, provide grip on steep slopes, and won't catch on passing rocks and shrubberies. Combine the Guide Ultra Light with a set of Snowflake Winter Baskets, and you've got the ultimate 4-season pole."

The Guide Ultra-Light is also an ideal Spring and Winter pole, when the optional Claw self-arrest grip is added. Can be converted to an avalanche probe."

User Reviews

rated 5 of 5 stars Unisex Guide Ultra Light
Reviewed by Carolyn Hayes, Jan 06, 2006

"I bought these poles two years ago for approach to a mountain hut with a heavy pack. I was never sold on trekking poles before. Since then I have used them on backpacking trips, snowshoeing, skiing, and on the glacier.

They don't go quite as short as I'd like for air travel but they fit in a large duffel."
