Ski poles are an essential item to the sport of skiing, so it pays to have a great set of poles. Coming in an assortment of materials including aluminum, composite and carbon fiber, these lightweight ski poles reduce swing weight for easier use, while remaining durable. An added benefit to single diameter composite or carbon ski poles is that they provide some flexibility and shock absorptoin and will not bend or kink like aluminum can in some situations. Aluminum ski poles often provide more rigidity for a stiffer feel.
