Ski pole length recommendation
There are two options for determining the correct length of the ski pole.
The practical test:
Stand upright and take the pole by the grip and put it on the ground. Now your forearm should be slightly tilted upwards. Another possibility is to turn the pole arroung and hold it at the basket. In this case, the forearm should be parallel to the ground or Your upper arm should form a right angle to the forearm.
The length calculation formula for ski poles
You can calculate the right pole length using a formula. This is: body size x 0.7 = pole length.
There are some special women's models with thinner tubes and grips for smaller hands.
