Anyone used them?
Opinions please, especially as to whether they would be suitable as a replacement pole for the SL3 shelters?
Cheers...

Precisely.
That's how high it will be if you use those toothpicks in a hoolie

Don't see why not. (Being made of aluminium rather than carbon as some of those bonks on the Windy thread seem to think)
But I'd get em here rather than Khatmandu
I've been using them for 12 months now.... feckin' brilliant, proper poles, and no need to carry anything heavier
I don't have a blog, but I did first hear about them from a man who does.
No idea, why would I want to hold up an SL3 that I don't have?
But since they do everything else that heavier poles do as far as walking goes, I really don't see why they shouldn't be just fine.
good point. Probably ok.
I overlap the ends of my poles quite a way and lash them together - possibly a stronger way of doing it than a single joiner inside the poles with the end sections removed?

Some people on this thread said they used them..
walking pole thread
Can the Compact's pole sections be joined together to make a longer pole? I know you can do this with the Super Compacts, but don't know about the Compacts.
Did you use them for the SL3 Ed? If so what did you use to join them together?
I had a look at BPL Bob's joiner thing but I'm fairly sure I could find some Ali tube from some where...
Tube won't work with Fizans unless you add the locky bits...
Not with the HEX....I have a fabric Black Diamond pole joiner thingy if you want it (for a small consideration of course)...

I was thinking of removing the handle section and finding tube of the correct inside diameter for the locky bits to work.
I shall bear the BD thingy in mind though.
Just got some Fizans, they seem good enough, but they weigh 36g. per pair more than
the 138g. each. stated . ...... what's new?
