Mar 28, 2012 at 8:07 am #1860408Great review Ray! I'd be interested to hear if you are able to easily get a replacement section for your broken pole, and how easy the repair is. I do a lot of off-trail bushwhacking and have broken my fair share of poles. After taking a fall like you describe, you pretty much have to expect a broken pole. However the nice thing about the BD poles is that you can buy all the replacement sections (and baskets) easily from their website. Once I figured that out I was able to repair 3 old sets, and now I'm less concerned if I do need to sacrifice a pole to prevent/arrest a fall.

Sorry to take so long to answer this. I destroyed my ankle and have really been out of it.
Yes they did send me a replacement section. I plan to be beating them up again next winter. (Fingers crossed;-)
