    Curious if the 30% offer is still happening.

     

    Thanks

    I’m afraid not Susy, sorry.

    When we have a new product out in the market (3 new ones coming soon) I will be offering an exclusive BPL first round again.

    Big thanks to Gilad for having great customer service. I had a problem with a pole and he fixed the issue with an extremely quick response. These poles are great and I’m recommending them to all my friends and family.

    What’s the difference between ’16 and ’17 models? I see the 2016 version for a crazy good price on your site.

    Hi Jim,

    Thanks for your interest in the poles, here is a list of changes from a post I published when the poles were out:

    • Thicker aluminum rings around the ends of the shafts to make them even more durable
    • A newly designed locking button that is both nicer to press (rounded top and thicker) and has a reinforced mechanism
    • The handle is slightly thicker to make the poles more comfortable for bigger hands but not so thick as to make them annoying for smaller hands
    • Better paint that allows an extra smooth slide of the locking shaft
    • Covered core cable as the thin ones might show some wear when dragged on rocks or twisted too much when packed
    • “Pointy” shaft sleeves so the poles are even easier to deploy

    It is also from a new factory (too many issues with the previous one) so the overall quality of their production is better.

    Cheers,

    Gilad
