Snow baskets work well and don't easily hook on things due to their good design.
The flick lock pole adjustment mechanism is bomber.
The whole handle design is sliced bread. I would put this handle on all my poles. You can adjust the strap length even with bulky deerskin choppers on. The safety release is a game changer and works well.
Sorry to hijack this topic, but these poles have really surprised me. I had the snow basket on my old poles catch on the stub of a limb on a log next to a downhill shute. I was wearing deerskin gloves which didn't let go of the strap and my shoulder dislocated instead, bringing me to a dead stop. The BD safety release would've saved me months of pain.
In avalanche territory I would still go strapless because the safety release only works in one direction and you could still get pinned down.
