Kulshan Adjustable Folding Poles

Just bought these, haven’t used them yet but am initially disappointed…they are a bit heavy/clunky and make a rattle sound from the cable inside I’m assuming. Not deal killers alone but one just pushes the cable into the handle and the segments sit together? Do they not twist and lock? There is a bunch of play between the segments like they want to fall apart…I’d I can’t lock them then I give it a 1 star

This is 2nd review, had a pole stop working, and customer service was absolutely amazing, folkrm made it right, they sent a replacement pole super fast, and i have about 6 tours with it and seems to be working great, love the long grips, and small pack size, sturdy for pushing hiking risers on my splitboard bindkng up and down, would have givin 5 star had i not broke one before. Great product.
Thanks Aaron for all the help.

I have been looking for a good pair of collapsible poles for quite some time. I have tried jones, kang, and whole bunch of other ones but i can confidently say my search is over.
Im super stoked with kulshan and heavily recommend if you are in the market!!!

I Bought the kulshan splitboard poles and only 5 uses and the telescoping section wont retract to take pole apart. I have been very deliberate with how i put them together and take them apart. I watched the videos before using to make sure i was using correctly but somthing is not right in the handle. While on the mountain had to snowboard down the mountain will a pole sticking out of my pack and mangaged to catch on a tree limb that made me crash. For 160 bucks im pretty disappointed. Il go back to my nitros that have treated me well for years.
The warranty/ repair is pending so will update this review depending on how folkm handles my grievances.

I like these a lot, but there is an annoying rattle coming from inside the shaft up in the grip section of each pole. Not at all a functional issue, more just feels like something loose inside. Maybe there's a way to fix this?
