I want to start this by giving props to Grivel for trying to inovate the extended grip, fixed length pole. I see what you’re doing, I bought the product, I love the effort.

Every innovation makes this pole worse.
There are essentially two factors that make this pole stand out from Batons de Alain and the like; mechanical breakaway straps and a directional basket.

My TL;DR review: These boots are high volume, have great ROM and ski better than they should given their weight... but they're still a lightweight boot.
Slightly longer review:
I got these because I have one foot that getting wider as I age and skinny boots just don't work for me anymore. These are plenty wide but the overall volume is a bit much. I'm using a couple volume reducers and an aftermarke...
