Poles are your multi-tool solution to a successful day in the backcountry. Rarely are poles given the credit they deserve for all they do and how valuable they truly are, until one breaks or malfunctions. These reasons, and more, are why we have created the ultimate companion to your WNDR Alpine splitboard, the WNDR 3-piece telescoping pole. Composed of the same attention to detail, tested and perfected in both style and function, these Austrian-made poles are a must have for any serious splitboarder.
Specs:
As a splitboarder, you need poles that works and can take a beating. These do. I've had (and broken) many sets of poles over the years, and these poles surpass all of them. The heel on the handle makes it easy to flip risers/whammy bars for steep inclines, and they strap well to my pack. A well-designed and well-manufactured set of poles.
I've gone through a number of touring poles in my humble 9 years of splitboarding. These are some of the most reliable poles I've tried!
They're light, pack down small enough to strap to the outside of my pack without getting in my way on descents, and have a perfect notch for flipping heel risers up & down (especially for the Spark R&D riders out there who have to fiddle with risers attached to your heel instead of the board 🙄).
It's obvious they put a lot of thought into designing these and I've been very happy with them so far!
My other three-piece poles finally bit the dust. Finding the perfect pole for splitboarding is tough. Looking at various options, these poles seemed to check all my boxes. Less than $100, not carbon, three pieces (telescoping not folding) and fits on my pack well.
The build quality is great, extended grips work well for when side hilling or just when switching up the grip is needed. The straps are VERY easy to remove (ALWAYS DO THIS).
10/10 - buy these poles
