Pole size guide

Poles are best chosen based on your height and below is a table that will guide you. 

You can also find your correct pole size by turning the pole upside down, holding it directly under the snow basket, and checking that your elbow forms a 90-degree angle while your arm stays against your body.  

Please also take note of slight variations that might be required by different types of skiing. For Backcountry Skiing and Freeride, generally you should use slightly longer ski poles then you would for on-piste, because they tend to sink down in deep snow.  For Ski Touring, longer poles are preferred as you push down with your arms when climbing, however the extra length can get in the way when descending. That’s why telescopic poles that are adjustable are the most useful.
