Need to replace with something else, March 21, 2007
I got one of these, and found that putting it on the skis was a pain. You have to thread the velcro strap through a small slot, fold it back over, then latch down the whole unit. It's not too bad to do it by hand at the beginning of the day, but you'll have to take your gloves off to do it at the end of the day.
Once this unit is attached, you can carry them using your poles as the top part of the handle. The poles I had when I purchased the unit fit pretty well, but when I replaced them with some not-quite-round poles, the fit was very loose and the provided sizers were of no help.
Carrying works well if you can attach the unit to the center of balance on your skis. If that point is near your bindings, you can't. The width of the carrier means that the middle of it won't line up with the center and the skis are a little off balance.
I finally gave up after I dropped my skis while carrying them. The plastic unit on the top broke off, rendering the carrier useless. I will have to replace it with something else.

Disappointed, January 8, 2010
The manufacture claims that their unit works with all pole sizes. Not so as it doesn't work with thin poles, which do not snap into the unit and are far too loose to carry the skis. Good idea, but they need to provide adapters for all pole sizes if they are going to make the claim that their unit works with all pole sizes.

Cumbersome, January 2, 2010
It works, but it is cumbersome. I have to believe there is an easier way to tie ski's and poles together.
