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.

Live up to the expectations! Like the rubber grip on the shaft vs. the foam you see everywhere today and they look great. Clasp has help up, have been solely skiing with these in the resort and touring for the past season. Gonna grab another pair for a gift!

These poles checked all the boxes for me - lightweight, bombproof, and eco. Also, the clasp feels really secure. Have only been on a few early season tours but really like them so far.
