I use BD Traverse poles which are a fine low budget option and I do like the mechanism never had any issues extending them in the ice or snow. My friend uses DPS carbon poles which I sort of wish I looked into, they've been bombproof for him. I know a few people that swear by Leki for the patrol grips as well. Im not a weight guy at all (bent 120s on cast) but lightweight poles are something to consider for longer days, my arms get tired a lot faster than my legs

I have Season eqpt adjustable poles. They're pretty durable and I think they look nice. I've eaten shit a few times and they haven't bent yet. The cork grip is nice. I use them in the resort, touring, and for backpacking or earning turns all year in the summer.
The design is pretty inherent for adding a poleclinometer too, which was a nice surprise. I shaved off the top of the other and added a GoPro mount. Since taking this photo a year ago, I've taken out the straps
Only complaint is when I shove the tips into the snow, they have a tendency to pop out more than the Leki fixed-length poles I used to use. The tip has some girth to it. Not the lightest poles by any means, but they've survived my abuse so far.
