jennywren Aug 2020 9:19am, 26 Aug 2020 15,783 posts	Quote Pin jennywren Haha I definitely haven’t. My (folding) poles git into the bladder bit of my decathlon backpack. They poke out a bit but that’s ok.

The bigger pack doesn't have the shoulder loop, but I think I can make diagonal work. Now need to see how it works other than walking up and down stairs !

Now I've found that it all makes sense. and googling Salomon 4D pole system finds me loads of videos - most of which have comments moaning underneath that it does work for folding poles only longer ones
