Proper pole length for skating

This is a calculated value. You can choose poles that differ by +3cm or -3cm.

You should / could order longer poles than the chart shows if you:

• have a lot of strength in your arms
• have a very flexible shoulder area
• tend to have your body rather straight while pushing off with the poles
• are experienced and use the poles very precisely
• plan to skate mostly on roads or easy off-road surfaces
• intend to have a very high intensive workout with a higher heart rate

You should / could order smaller poles than the chart shows if you:

• lack strength in your arms
• lack flexibility in your shoulder area
• tend to bend down low when pushing off with the poles
• plan to go off-road cross skating often

Poles with variable length

Some Nordic Skating poles are variable in length (e.g LEKI BLADE VARIO). They are very helpful for pinning down the pole length which best suits you. But make sure you have good quality poles, as variable poles, lacking good fixation, can be the cause of injury.
