DISCLAIMER: The above size chart has been developed and refined over many years by Gear West staff, local coaches, and customer feedback from recreational and race skiers. It is based on modern trends in Nordic skiing, however it is not based on any official rules. It is the sole responsibility of the consumer to verify pole length compliance in applicable racing events. Also note that these measurements are based on the entire length of the pole assuming that strap anchor point is slightly below the top of the pole.
**MUST READ!! Please note that the new Swix Triac 3.0 and Quantum 1-3 series poles have redesigned handles with less material above the strap connection. The strap anchor point height (the point in which the strap exits the pole) remains the same for a given marked pole size and therefore should be fitted the same as previous models. If you used a 150 cm before, you would still use a Triac 3.0 or Quantum 1-3 marked as 150 cm. The very top of the pole does not measure quite as tall, however this is not part of the function of the pole and does not require a fit change.**
