Stacked and connected with Voile straps as they go on one of my packs, the Latitude Carbon SS sticks nested are 7" from the bottom stand-off to the upright of the top stick. Conversely, the Beast Gear Sticks are just a touch over 10". There is 1# of weight difference....advantage to the carbon sticks between them. Of the three pack options I use, they work eaqually well on 2 of the 3, with a slight advantage to the Lattitude on the waist pack shelf.
Last year around this time, I watched a very long stick comparison video, which offered a host of measures for the sake of comparision. By the end, I wasn't convinced that the difference between most was all that appreciable. If you do sir, I trust you have found a better option. This is my BWMG pack and setup with Beast Gear sticks attached.....easy on and off....no appreciable bulk to me.
