Look at these beefy sticks from Finland. Järvinen of Lahti was the premier manufacturer of cross-country skis in the country from the 1930s to the 1980s. These poles were made with the most demanding consumers in mind, and no doubt the strongest! Six-point wicker/leather baskets give them a solid foundation to power you forward.
NOTE: bamboo splits. The bamboo has split on one of the poles, but that is normal. Do you know how racers dealt with that? Yeah, hockey tape.
