Any reason why they changed the color. Maybe they didn't want them to be confused with the horrible altius poles.

I haven't seen any of the new ones in the US, so perhaps they are still shipping blue and white ones to us.
And Adam, Altius has been experimenting with different colors of tape for their poles

Its better than pink and blue. Who would tape a pole those colors?

Yeah im not to fond of those colors. But based on latest fashion research that my sister took, those browns and oranges are coming back into fashion from the 60's-70's. Pole Vault Pole Fashion. Who'da thunk.

It would be amazing if there were a polevault store where you could try poles out, I would love to be able to get on a nordic or essx and see how they feel.

i have jumped on about all of the poles i have ever heard of and i think that the essx poles are great when they are the right weight rating for you. i personaly did not get to try a pole that was stiff enough for me but the ones that i jumped on where great poles and even thought i was going throught the poles it would still give you a kick
