Race Pole Sizing Guide

Choosing Your Length: Slalom poles are generally sized similarly to standard alpine ski poles. With the pole inverted and your hand gripping just below the basket, your elbow should form approximately a 90-degree angle when standing in ski boots.

Slalom Racing: Some racers prefer a slightly shorter pole for quick movements and reduced interference while navigating gates. Your height, stance, and personal racing preferences should guide your selection.

Trigger System: The Trigger 3D SL grip requires a compatible Leki Trigger strap or glove connection. Confirm compatibility when using replacement straps or gloves.

Gate Guard Compatibility: Slalom gate guards may be added for additional hand protection during gate contact. Verify that the guard and mounting hardware are specifically compatible with the Trigger 3D SL grip and this pole model before installation.

Weight: Manufacturer-listed pole weights range from 266 g to 316 g per pole across the listed variants. Actual weight depends on the selected length.
