Medium 7' - $65.00
These polearms are all-purpose weapons, being equally at home at a small practice or a large war. The combine rigidity with low weight allowing a multitude of options in combat.
The core is a high-quality, high-strength fiberglass. The foam is cross-linked Durafoam and handles exceptionally well the rigors of combat. It is extremely durable and solid. The result is that these poles can last years without any maintenance.
These are legal in Amtgard, Belegarth, and Dagorhir, meeting all specified safety requirements. These should be legal in your local group... unless your local group is seriously wussy.
Weight: 1300g
Length: 7ft

That being said, it is pretty neat and I like it slightly more than I like 2# minicell. They are both very good foams for what we do, just slightly different in strengths and weaknesses (and both are substantially better over a 4# box or fry). They (WLS) are primarily selling to Amtgarders, so their definition of durable does not necessarily include folks like Forkbeard.

Frosty wrote:I will say this I play tested 5 WLS Poilevault cores and have snapped everyone of them inless than an Event. I was also concerned about the strike padding being on the lowest end of the spectrum. Go with a Band Shoppe pole or possibly the new core that Forkbeard has found, youd have to ask him if you want more info about it but I elieve he is still testing it.

I will be bringing it to BFTR, if anyone wants to check it out and you will be there please let me know. I will be specifically asking some of the well.... heavy hitters to take it out and see if they can snap it in half.
