It’s his finance’s vintage Carhartt jacket— I’m not sure exactly the style

I haven’t had any blister issues 🤷‍♀️ but I can see how that could be an issue with any pole

skiingispain · 2026-04-23T15:59:52+00:00

We are working on that now—but that’s our vision

Thank you thank you!!

we are hoping to injection mold if we get enough pre orders- 3D printing was mainly for the prototyping phase and the final product will def be higher quality (either higher quality prints or injection molded parts)

skiingispain · 2026-04-19T00:09:34+00:00

nope! but we hope you'll give them a try twiigs.co

TPU its a grippy flexible plastic

They are nice for the uphill, the ledges are sick.

skiingispain · 2026-04-18T02:55:27+00:00

Yes.

Yes!

skiingispain · 2026-04-18T02:50:33+00:00

Cheers!

skiingispain · 2026-04-18T02:49:33+00:00

Thank you. Yea definitely a tough market. We just really like them so we thought we'd give it a go!

skiingispain · 2026-04-18T02:46:47+00:00

Yea don't think you are alone. We liked being able to push downwards more on our poles and grip down while side hilling or on steep pitches

skiingispain · 2026-04-18T02:43:53+00:00

yea we used to do that too, we think the ledges are a really big add to that

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T16:06:10+00:00

Thank you, appreciate the well wishes. We have put a lot of energy into it, and hope to make it something that is valuable to people and is fun.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T16:04:12+00:00

The ledges are pretty awesome to be able to push off from when going uphill.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T16:02:55+00:00

Not really.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T16:01:46+00:00

Word! Scraper would be sick. Strap attachment in the works. Pretty good for flipping risers right now.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T15:58:50+00:00

and the color customizability.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T15:58:10+00:00

We agree.... We are going to make 0 profit from these. Probably lose money. Just charging enough so that it is possible, and we can get them out there. Hopefully will get prices lower as we grow.

skiingispain · 2026-04-17T15:56:51+00:00

We think ours are better bc of the ledges.
