Swix made the Comp CT5 Skate Ski Poles for cross country skiers who are looking for strong, light, non-bank-breaking poles for skate skiing workouts. Carbon composite keeps the pole stiff and light, but costs far less than competitive models. A PC grip on the Comp CT5 puts your hand in an ergonomically correct position so your wrist doesn't feel strained, and the ProFit strap helps transfer power down the shaft to the tip for poling efficiency.

Because quality doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg.
