Crosscountry poles  > Manufacturer KOMPERDELL

How to choose running poles

• Length - Poles for classic and touring cross-country skiing should reach the shoulders. For skating poles, the ideal length range is somewhere between the chin and the nose, universal poles are somewhere in the middle of these lengths. Longer sticks will be more acceptable for sport-oriented individuals. However, it also depends on the cross-country skier himself - who has longer arms can afford longer sticks and vice versa.

• Material - The use of materials varies according to the purpose, but aluminum alloys or composites are most often used. Although aluminum alloys are cheaper and last a long time (you can bend and straighten the pole relatively easily, but you won't break it), on the other hand, running poles weigh more. It is therefore possible to recommend them to recreational or sports skiers. Performance and racing cross-country skiers will not settle for less, they will be excited by the composites just mentioned. 100% carbon stands at the very top.
