Why ski poles of bamboo?

Well, because bamboo ski poles are both durable and sustainable! Bamboo provides the perfect balance between rigidity and flexibility and doesn’t bend like regular aluminum poles or snap like carbon fiber sticks. But above all, bamboo is eco-friendly and climate-smart as the canes only need sun, soil and rain to create itself. And while it does, bamboo binds carbon dioxide more efficiently than almost any other plant on the planet.

Both Tonkin and Calcutta bamboo are very flexible, but remain straight. If a cane cracks, it will usually do so along the fibers and can be fixed with tape to be able to keep on skiing.

“I’m an old hand at skiing and love things that are long-lasting, like bamboo ski poles. Wish I’d had Rimfors ski poles 4 000 years ago to improve my swag and image.”
