If you like a longer pole for backcountry skiing, we recommend sizing the Wyeast Ski Pole 5-10 cm (2-6 inches) longer than a standard ski pole. When skiing downhill, 5-10 cm of the pole should be above your hand.
For standard pole sizing please follow the chart below.
Pole Size | Height |
105 cm (42 in) | 5' 1" and below |
115 cm (45 in) | 5' 2" - 5' 6" |
125 cm (49 in) | 5' 7" - 5' 11" |
135 cm (53 in) | 6' 0" - 6' 4" |
145 cm (57in) | 6' 5" and above |
*Biodegradability:
Our ski poles are designed to biodegrade in a biologically active landfill (appropriate facilities not available in all areas). ASTM D5511 tests that represent biologically active landfills on representative applications have shown 20% biodegradation in 200 days.
Overall I've really likes them so far. Super nice to quickly adjust my hands on the skin track. My only complaint is that the baskets come unscrewed pretty easily no matter how tight I put them on. Nothing a bit of loctite won't fix though
try and guess the title.
I absolutely love these poles. as I read from reviews I glued the baskets on before I used them and haven't had an issue yet. I really like how you can easily change grip height on the go to a huge degree when skinning up. swing weight is awesome, lighter than my other poles. the ribs on the foam are great to rest your hand on so you don't have to grip them completely.
all in all an awesome pole and will definitely be buying again.
A little long based on recommended size chart, but still rip so I’m happy!
Best ski touring poles I’ve ever used. The long foam grip is comfortable and useful for constantly changing hand position.
Best Poles on the market! Amazing grip!
