I don't know why I haven't told you guys about these poles earlier. Or maybe I have, but I forgot.

I love these poles because:
1) They're adjustable. I like to hike up Highland Bowl. Using poles really helps. Because it's so steep, my poles in their normal position are too long -- can't hike good with 'em. So I just adust the poles down a few notches, I can rip right up the bowl.
2) They feel great. I've never had a pole that felt so good in my hands.
3) They swing great. My pole swing always feels so on. The pole is balanced great.
4) Great service. I busted my first pair, they sent me a new pair free.
5) Cool company. They're right up here in Aspen.
So if you like to hike, or you mix in being a Pinhead, get you some Epic poles. You won't regret it.
