amey-
Thanks @platypus and @amey
I ordered the the Easton pole as soon as I got out of the woods, it was the only one available from a shop in Finland and I wanted something rather quickly. Then after asking here, I also found a few reviews saying it's so flexy that people are suspicious of how durable it is. It had arrived now as I got home and I'm sure the one you linked is beefier indeed.But, I also read what Taneli Roininen had to say about this, he was touring off-road around high mountain ranges around the world for years and now makes routes for living, he has this pole made by Easton, speaks highly of it and has used it for 1300 nights with a Lunar Solo and Lanshan 1 pro. So I suppose I better at least try it, as I have it in my hands already.
The one I had seemed stiff too, until it didn't, so we'll see how this is compared to that.

I had an aliexpress carbon pole snap a couple of days ago, the wind was stronger. Kind of user error though, too windy. It was in the highlands of northern Norway. There I was and chose the least windy spot but still, it's all so open. Was close to the edge of the area though so just packed it up and descended for an hour or so to find a better spot and a tree branch to replace it for the night. In the morning I sawed the broken part off and it works again for now, just 5 or 6 cm shorter. And now I ordered a new one, the Six Moon Designs one made by Easton. Is it good, what's the best five-piece pole, about 124cm?
Here's a picture close to the place I was going to camp at and the temporary replacement.
