Collection: Cross-Country Ski Poles

How to Choose Your Cross-Country Ski Poles?

Your choice of poles directly impacts your posture and energy efficiency. To maximize your glide, two criteria are essential: the discipline and the material.

Classic Cross-Country Poles

In classic skiing, poles are shorter to accompany the natural movement of the diagonal stride without hindering breathing or rhythm.

• Ideal Length: They should generally reach shoulder height.
• Usage: Nordic touring and classic training.

Skate Cross-Country Poles

Skate skiing requires a much more powerful propulsion and a wider arm motion. Therefore, skate poles are longer and stiffer to transfer maximum force.

• Ideal Length: They should generally reach chin or nose height.
• Usage: Competition, athletic skiing, and intensive skate practice.

Aluminum or Carbon: Which Material to Choose?

• Aluminum: Robust and durable, it is the ideal choice for beginners or those seeking equipment that resists impacts.
• Carbon: Ultra-lightweight and rigid, carbon reduces arm fatigue and offers superior energy transfer. It is the preferred choice for performance skiers.
