Stop trying to track down old ski poles with K2 Extreme graphics on ebay. These popular graphics are back for another round on the K2 V8 Ski Poles. While the look may hearken back to the eighties the technology definitely doesn't. K2 built these performance poles with a durable lightweight composite shaft. A slim grip makes the V8 ski pole easy to hold lessening the chances you'll drop these sticks mid-run or worse on the lift.
