Most of them will eventually break.
I've got some Black Diamond traverse poles and just bought a bunch of spair lower shaft for 10$ each on their website.

I have the Line EP Paintbrushes and they've held up extremely well. However, I wouldn't spend too much of your money on poles just bc they inevitably break/bend after a season or two of skiing

I've used g3 aluminum poles the past two seasons for touring, inbounds skiing, park, and pre/post season jib setups and they have held up great. Other poles I have had in the past have bent doing almost nothing to them, but the g3 poles have been great, no damage whatsoever. I have only used the aluminum poles so I can't speak on the durability of the carbon ones. My buddy has the line paintbrush poles and they are pretty solid too.

I had the moment ones for a few years, really good till the clips broke and i lost the bottom half of both. I've been using leki helicons since then and they are bomber, best poles I've had.

@J_skis wizard staff. Used them for a year and they have barely even chipped. Taken some gnarly falls on them too. Plus they have a warranty so if you break them they’ll send you more.

@CatdickBojangles preaching facts and stoked to hear you're loving the Wizard Staff! Those poles are so damn durable, I'm still rocking my prototype pair 😎🤙

I've had the same pair of Black Diamond poles for literally 20 years. These were made in Italy, but they don't make them there anymore.
