5-10 cm of the pole should be above your hand.

I am really stoked on the Wy East Poles, this is the third set I have had and they rock. The extended grip makes it easy to adjust your hand position on the way up or down. Highly recommended!

I like the poles and the idea that I can grab it higher/lower depending on the angle of travel but I was out for a tour and it was snowing lightly and the snow in the PNW is of course WET. Poles were laying in the snow many times during the day as we stopped and eventually the material on the handles turned into an icicle and the ice was hard to scrape off. I’m bummed but I think I’d use these for clear sunny days mostly
Hey Kristina, sorry to see the poles ice up like that. We would recommend trying to keep the poles vertical during transitions vs down in the snow as that can greatly reduce snow build up. Also knocking the poles together can help dislodge the snow before they start icing. Finally you can alwys treat the grips with a little bit of Sno-Seal (leather waterproofer) to help further waterproof them.

When skinning keep your thumbs in the strap for extra strength on the up and down hill sides. On the up hill short side keep just your thumb in the strap and on the switch move your hand to the top with thumb still in for down hill side support. Works great 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

Best ski poles I’ve ever owned. Period. No competition. Light, grippy, and versatile for all types of terrain. I’ve recommended these poles to all my skier friends.

These poles helped me upgrade across the board in confidence and skills. They’re so light and fun to swing around. Being able to switch hand positions frequently is key. I have two pairs and will never ski with a different pole most likely
