Sizing Notes
Please note, this sizing chart is meant to serve only as a guideline.
Sizing downhill poles: Stand in your ski boots on a level floor. With your poles upside down—grips touching the floor—grab the pole beneath the basket so that the top of your thumb touches the basket. Your elbow should now be at a 90-degree angle. If the angle is less than 90 degrees, get a shorter pole. If the angle is greater, get a longer pole.
Sizing XC poles: Stand in your XC ski boots on a level floor. Place the pole tips on the floor next to your feet. The top of the grips should reach your arm pits.
Sizing skate poles: Stand in your skate boots on a level floor. Place pole tips on the ground with the pole shafts perpendicular to the floor. The poles should reach from the ground up to a point somewhere between your chin and your lips.

Pretty Awesome Poles

I split my time between the backcountry and resort in Washington, and have broken a few poles from charging too hard (and wiping out) in bounds with lighter weight poles. These things are basically indestructible (see video of guy doing pushup on them), but still quite lightweight to swing. No doubt a placebo, but they've increased my confidence while skiing since there's basically no way I'll be going home with a broken or bent pole. 10/10 would recommend. I'll likely be putting some grip tape on the area below the normal grip so they're more usable in the backcountry.

Great Poles

These replaced aluminum poles we have purchased in the past. I’ve fallen hard several times and have yet been able to break a pole. They do scratch and chip but I expect to get several seasons out of these.. Liked them enough to purchase them for everyone in the family. We have had to purchase too many poles at the resorts for way more than these cost. The only negative is they might weigh an ounce more than an aluminum pole priced the same. We own four sets now.

Great pole for the price. Strong compared to aluminum. More of a chance of them walking off than breaking them.
