Quick verdict
The grip of Armada's AK Adjustable is undoubtedly stylish, but unfortunately not entirely ergonomic for ascents or descents. Comfort of the straps is also rated as rather meager as a result.

Test verdict
The grip of Armada's AK Adjustable is undoubtedly stylish, but unfortunately not entirely ergonomic for ascents or descents. Comfort of the straps is also rated as rather meager as a result. However, the pole is stiff and operates reliably. At 280 grams, it is 20 grams heavier than last year's model, placing it among the heavier poles.
