Atomic Redster Jr Poles 2026

The Pole

The Atomic Redster Jr is a solid, no-fuss aluminum ski pole built for kids who are ready to stop dragging their tips and actually use their poles. At $29.95 it won't hurt when they bend one, and they will bend one.

The shaft is high-grade aluminum, light enough that a kid won't notice it's there but stiff enough to give real feedback. The grip is shaped specifically for smaller hands, and the basket is sized for groomed snow. A steel tip bites in and doesn't wear out in a season. And they come in Red Tension, which looks sharp on the hill.

These aren't for racing. Kids who get serious about gates will want something stiffer and more race-specific. But for the skier working on their first parallel turns through the last run of the day, the Redster Jr is exactly right.

What We Like

The JR grip is the detail that gets overlooked. Adult grips swallow a kid's hand and they end up gripping the shaft itself. The Redster Jr grip fits, which means they actually plant instead of just swinging their arm. That alone makes the pole worth carrying.
