What are some unbreakable poles?

Goode composite rental poles. The burliest poles on the planet. Bend them into anything less than a circle and they'll spring back to straight.
 
I've had my Scott poles for 5 seasons and they're still going strong. Bent them a few times, but they're still doing ok. I can't remember which poles they are though. They're kind of like a black and red digital camo kind of pattern and they say Scott in red. Maybe the team edition or P4?
 
i never had a scott like park pole break on me. i had the black and yellow ones for like 4 years they bent just out of frustration at urban but they bent back again juts fine and now i have another pair got them last year and still no complaints.
 
This is what I use.

I actually had one shatter on me over the break. The bottom split, then I just fucked with it until it was all the way up the pole, spun it around a lot, and it was toast.

But I had been using that pair for 3 seasons, and I whack them and stuff. Luckily I have spares.

Get them, seriously.
 
Ya the only way that I have seen them break is when they literally shatter into a bunch of pieces.
 
ive had my scott P4 poles for about 4 seasons now. they are still holding up. they even broke my thumb before i could bend them
 
what everyones beeing saying goode i've landed on em so many times my friends were like that bullshit they tried for like 20 minutes to break them and couldn't haha. I got the $50 dollar ones from a shop lifelong warranty if they ever do break.
 
I snapped 2 pairs of aluminum poles in a week, years ago, then switched to some flexy K2 composite poles and haven't had any breaks or pole problems since. I've been considering trying the panda poles out, but haven't been using poles this season much because I hurt my shoulder, so haven't had any desire to buy new poles since I still have my K2 composite poles which work well / haven't been skiing with poles...
 
I've been using some composite ones for about 4 years now and they're been great. I've fallen on them countless times but they just snap back to being straight every time
 
HAHA at the love for composite rental poles. I accidentally stole a pair about 3 years ago and they are still going strong. Just so damm bendy they won't snap.
 
I dislike the bend the comes out of the composite poles, it just feels like you can't get a good plant or push from them because the force is lost in the bending.
 
The Line poles are fairly durable. I own a pair of the Pins, and they're really nice for not bending. Also maybe try to get shorter poles.
 
I hate composite poles because they are too damn flexy. Can't push or pole plant for shit because of it. Search local thrift stores for any scott series 3 or series 4 aluminum. Its says it right up by the grip. They are the strongest poles ever. If they bend its only a slight amount and with some force you can get them right back. I found a pair of old scott racing concept poles at a ski swap, cut them down, spraypainted a cool design and threw some bmx grips on and they are the best poles ever for park.
 
i hate the composite poles because they give you fiberglass splinters which fucking suck. i bend all my other poles though :(
 
I like my armada poles, but I have been using some really old scott kid's poles lately because you cannot break them.
 
Rentals for sure. Those black fibreglassy ones are tougher than pieces of Superman.

I used to think my Scott composite poles were pretty tough until one day someone did a hockey stop that juuuuust clipped one and it cut the end off like it was a celery stalk...
 
I have these Goode 'graphite' poles that are so fucking sick. They are lighter than your standard composite poles, with more rigidity, yet they give just enough so you can't really snap them. I used to have standard Goode composite poles and they seemed to bend just a bit when I push with them, and these definitely don't have that problem. I have never seen another pair, and I can't find them on the internet, so I'm really happy to own a pair. They're yellow on the bottom, fading to black on the top with 'graphite' in red print on the upper part of the shaft, so if you find any, jump on em.

If I don't lose them, and if they don't get stolen, I'm positive that I will have these for many, many years... I have no reason to give them up!

A lot of mountains rent the standard composite poles, and that's what I used until I got my newest pair. You can cut them really easily to get just the right length too, and you'll never break them.
 
I've got those and they are pretty good. I have no complaints about them. They are light, durable, and they look cool.
 
I have a solution:

instead of dropping 50-60$ on poles, go to your shops dumpster and check if they tossed away any old poles. cut them down using a hacksaw, paint them, throw some glitter on dat shit, whatever. voila free dope poles.

these are mine and cost me 8$ for the bike grips. and as soon as they bust in half I will go pick up another pair to replace them for free.

Ive had my scott team issue poles for three years now. No bends at all and aside from the paint scratching off from landing and banging them on things there perfect.
 
All poles break! I have had a pair of K2 Composite for 2 years and they are finally splintering. I usually go through 1-2 pairs a season.

I don't get why people hold these companies to such high standards when we are beating the SHIT out of their products made from the best material available!?
