Finding the correct ski pole length is crucial for optimal performance. Utilize the angle rule: flip a ski pole upside down, and grasp it just below the basket. Your elbow should comfortably rest near your hip with a 90-degree arm angle.

If poles aren't available, use a tape measure with your elbow bent at 90 degrees, adding two inches for snow submersion.

(For park skiing, shorter poles aid balance and avoid interference.)

Refer to our size chart for guidance.

Shaft Materials: Our ski poles are made in aluminium, renowned for their durability and affordability, are suitable for regular use, enduring significant wear and tear.

Basket Types: Ski pole baskets prevent excessive sinking into snow. Standard baskets, are prevalent on the slopes. Larger baskets, are optimal for deep powder conditions. Interchangeable or replaceable baskets accommodate various skiing preferences and conditions.

Solid Ski Pole

"Its a solid ski pole, my only reason for it being 4 stars and not 5 is the color. I was hoping that they would match my Agent 3s better. The Orange is a bit lighter than the skis. But they still look awesome and my friends have no problem spotting me when I wave to them"
