The most useless or naff!

If I saw someone wearing that I'd be shouting "Oi, Bertie, show us your all sorts...."

On the first day of the holiday I completed a black run in Ponte di Legno to discover the straps had become detached from the poles. On close inspection, the nylon straps had frayed right through by the hole by which it is attached to the retaining pin. I borrowed a spare pair from a friend. I was going to take them back to the retailers however, it appears that this was a design fault and I would have been fobbed off with an exchange pair and the same problem! The pole itself is a nice thin composite and I like the poles. So I have made my own straps but will have to wait until December to try them out.

I am not sure if I can name the poles on this post (legal reasons) but they were purchased from a well known retailer.
