If you like the feel of an aluminum pole, the Atomic Redster X SQS is a top piste option. It comes with the Atomic SQS safety release system that instantly releases your strap under tension to stop you injuring a wrist during a fall. On top of that you’ve got a premium, padded strap and an ergonomic grip plus a 60mm piste basket and steel tip combo ideal for good grip on harder groomed slopes.
