I know the $30 poles Costco carries get a lot of love here, but I just saw that Cascade Mountain Tech has a "new" ultralight option. At 5.6 ounces per pole without the boots, and $65 per pair, these are checking a lot of boxes for me. Has anyone here tried them? I've been looking at Locus Gear CP3s and Gossamer Gear LT5s, but this would be a pretty big cost savings without much more weight at all. And certainly lighter than the 18-20 ounce aluminum poles I've been using.
