Race ski poles are commonly made from aluminum, carbon fiber, or high-strength composite materials. Each offers a different balance of weight, stiffness, and durability.

How do I choose the correct length race ski poles?

Pole length depends on your height and racing discipline. The correct size helps promote efficient pole plants and proper body position. Our team can help you determine the right fit.

Do I need gate guards on my race ski poles?

If you're training or racing slalom, gate guards help protect your hands and poles from repeated gate impacts. Many race poles are designed to accept removable gate guard systems.
