I am considering buying some line pin ski poles. Are they any good?

I've got dart poles and they are mega light. I really like the skinnier grip and it is much more grippier than normal poles.

I was looking at those too. They just don't sell them in any shops near my house REI sells the Pins. Are the darts much different than the pins?

they are mad light, the skinny, grippy grips are make grabs super easy, and not to mention, they look dope.Also, they are made short so you don't have to cut them down! get them

Nice do you ever use them as a All Mountain Ski? How do they hold up?

I personally love my poles short for all conditions, even knee deep pow, so they are perfect
they hold up a hell of a lot better than my old k2 poles did

I like how they are small and really thin. The Grips are also super nice. But I did break a pair recently after a season and a half. They bent pretty bad, and they snapped when i bent it back. Oh well though, I ended up getting new ones, they are pretty nice poles overall.
