FIT GUIDE
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.
