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.

Disappointing Quality: Swix Focus Ski Pole Failed
After many years away, we decided to pick up cross-country skiing again, but my experience with the Swix Focus Nordic Cross-Country Ski Poles was a major letdown. Within the first minute of use, I fell and accidentally put all my weight on one of the poles (without stepping on it during the fall). To my shock, the pole bent in half instantly! I can't remember aluminum poles being this fragile in the past. It literally failed within seconds. Needless to say, I had to shell out for a replacement set. Extremely disappointing for such a trusted brand.
Good Basic Pole
Nice basic nordic ski pole. Comfortable handles and good baskets.
Great spare ski poles.
I bought as extra ski poles for when my grand kids ski with me.
Fine Poles
Just fine and the same size I've always used. Nice upgrade to 30y.o. equipment.
Good value
These poles are fine. But they were the wrong size for me, so I returned them.
