Length, shaft material, and the basket at the bottom · review
A solid all-round pole whose German listing has had its "und" replaced by "and" throughout.
The bottom line The best basket on the shelf, under a listing that was edited by a machine and never read.
60 mm. The widest basket published on this shelf, against 50 mm on the HEAD.
Ten millimetres of diameter is the difference between a pole that sinks to the grip in soft snow and one that does not — and on an all-mountain pole, which is what this claims to be, it is the right choice.

Somebody replaced the German und with the English and across the whole description, and the umlaut in the first word is double-encoded. Quoted as it stands.

It is Atomic’s internal grade, not a standard. The HEAD on this shelf publishes 5083 and the Slokki publishes 7075 — both alloy designations that can be looked up. A star rating cannot.
It is the biggest on this shelf and it is still a piste basket. Deep snow wants a wider powder basket, and the family page above notes that baskets are usually replaceable. This listing does not say whether these are.
Because somebody ran a blind find-and-replace on the copy and turned the German "und" into the English "and" everywhere it appeared. The first bullet also carries a double-encoded umlaut. This page quotes it as published.
