+Sompa is big enough for deep and soft snow
+The attachment of the soma is sturdy, it probably won't come off when you grab a branch or a stump.
+The shaft seems quite stout, it wobbles clearly less than in tower poles.
- The straps could be better, but these will do just fine. Sometimes you can roll the threads out of the straps so that it doesn't press on the palm of your hand.
- The strap "tightening lock" is not perfect, it is a bit difficult to use, there are better ones.
But, there are these good rods for deep dead ends. Many competitors are suitable for wannabee forest skiing, these for genuine traditional skiing.

Excellent product. A couple of times I have managed to use it in very thick and heavy snow and they have worked exactly as I hoped. I used to have telescoping poles from which the telescoping function broke while climbing a steep slope. That's why I specifically wanted rods without that feature. I believe these poles can withstand the strain of climbing.

Used one time so far (5 Feb. 23km mountain back-country touring in deep snow) and performed very well, good choice!

These have big enough sommas for a closed project and the price wasn’t bad. On the other hand, some find that the material and feel of these handles are not very good, which in itself is true. I got these because I wanted durable rods and big soms at a reasonable price.
