I love my folkrm poles. I use the non-telescopic ones. I was a little skeptical when, a few seasons ago they seemed to be blowing up on social media ads. I thought it was all hype and paid marketing. But I was lucky enough to try a pair one day and was sold. Extremely lightweight, yet I've never worried about breaking them. The long grip is great for easy adjustments on the uphill. What suprised me was how often I find myself choking down on the grips in steep lines on the descent. I just wish they had a whippet-compatible attachment.
