The length of the pole is a key factor in its ability to be used in the given discipline, whether it's alpine skiing, cross-country skiing (classic or skating technique), cross-country skiing, trail running, hiking, trekking, or Nordic walking. The right pole length allows you to get the most out of your pole. The pole should support the user's technique, protect against incorrect movements, cushion potential falls, and optimally transfer power. This is only possible with the right length, which can vary considerably depending on the sport. Therefore, LEKI offers the option to calculate the optimal pole length. This handy tool determines the optimal length for the sport in question, in combination with the user's height.
