Curious if the 30% offer is still happening.
Thanks
Jul 3, 2017 at 10:54 am #3476807I’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.
Jul 5, 2017 at 4:11 pm #3477129Big 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.
Jul 5, 2017 at 6:59 pm #3477168What’s the difference between ’16 and ’17 models? I see the 2016 version for a crazy good price on your site.
Jul 5, 2017 at 7:41 pm #3477176Hi 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
