So you’re not looking at shiny Titanium out of the box.I wonder why they wrap them then?

It’s just a thin vinyl wrap for the color scheme it seems.I wonder why they wrap them then?

The wrap is purely cosmetic and serves no purpose other than for looks.

I run 4 and actually ordered a 5th Friday in case I want to go aiderless. They are so easy to carry I figured what’s one more.Are you guys running three of these sticks or four? I have been using four beast sticks but I only bought three of the One sticks so far. Debating if I need to grab a fourth stick? I typically run a two step staider on the bottom stick and maybe a single step aider on my second stick. As I’m typing this, I think I know the answer. I’m gonna want the fourth stick and since the weigh so little, might as well have it.
I have five as well but haven’t used all five yet. Currently I use four with a two aider on the bottom and single step aiders on the other three. I just got my BW mobile GC-One in that I’ll be testing today and if all goes well, possibly going to three sticks.Are you guys running three of these sticks or four?

All Sticks came like that including the GEN1 sticks, they didn’t start testing till the Gen2 recall.My guess is that it was done to cover the scratches the tubes experienced when they tested the sticks. Seems like most people, myself included before I returned them, had sticks returned after testing that were scratched up pretty good.

It’s just to cover the shiny titanium.
I removed the plastic from the tube before I stealth strip them, it’s hold to the tube better and doesn’t move like it would with that plastic shrink wrap on the tube.
I’m ridiculously high with this aider and four sticks! I’m almost 25’ as I just about maxed out my pull up rope. I think I’m higher than I’ve ever been in a saddle. I forgot my rappel kit so climbing down should be fun…I ordered the 3 step GC-One, it is due in tomorrow. Let us know what you think of yours. I have read that I should be able to get 18 - 20 feet with using the aider on the first step and then 2 more sticks. I removed the Amsteel 1-step aiders from my Beast Sticks and am about to remove the cable aider, they just do not work when descending in the dark.
No… imitation Chinese Amsteel.
I ordered the 4th stick, but this is a good point about using 5 and no aiders.I run 4 and actually ordered a 5th Friday in case I want to go aiderless. They are so easy to carry I figured what’s one more.
