How to measure
On flat ground the top of the trekking pole handle should be at waist or hip level and your elbow at 90 degrees (see illustration).
- For walking, hiking, and backpacking: stability and support matter most. Size up if you're right on a size cusp.
- For running: uphill propulsion matters most. Size down if you're right on a size cusp.
