The e3 Grip technology you
have come to know and love in your e3 Fitness Grips has been incorporated in the
e3 Ski poles!
Professional and recreational skiers everywhere can now enjoy the balance and stability
benefits provided by the e3 Fitness Grips while on the slopes also.
|
 |
e3 Ski poles meld e3 Fitness grips with Goode 9303 and XGS-100 Carbon Composite poles to produce very
stiff and lightweight ski poles. |
Available lengths: up to 54"
Weight (for 48" length): 8oz per pole (approx)
Shaft: 10.4mm dia Goode 9303 or XGS-100 Carbon Fiber |
| We currently have
Goode XGS-100 black poles with red/white graphics for fabricating e3 ski
poles over 44" length, and Goode 9303 yellow/black poles with
black/silver colored graphics for poles 44" or less. (9303 and XGS-100
are the same pole - just a name change) The e3 Grips fitted to the poles may be
Blue, Black, Purple, Green, or Gray color subject to availability at the time of your order. Indicate any primary and secondary color preference you may
have in the comments box on the order form.
If you have ANY questions about sizing of the poles please email or call us at 1-888-590-4747 |

Too long poles can be trimmed, too short poles are
gifts for a shorter friend.
"Measure twice, cut once." Ski pole length
is not an absolute science - there can be quite a bit of personal preference
involved, but should be reasonably close to the length determined by the
methods below, or the same as that of your existing poles if that length is
"right" for you. In general, a pole that is
much too long will "jam" your arms during pole plants and can be
unwieldy. A pole that is much too short can cause you to reach and can
result in fatigue. We fabricate the e3 ski poles to the
exact length you specify, but if you are in doubt, be assured that plus or
minus an inch of "ideal" isn't fatal (the difference between
planting in powder or slush as opposed to planting on ice or hardpack is
more than that anyway.) If you really are not sure whether
to go with a 50" pole or a 52" pole you can always choose the
52" length and have it cut down later if needed (any ski shop or even
you can do it. These carbon fiber poles are fairly easy to cut to length by
removing the lower tip assembly and sawing off the proper amount from the
shaft bottom)

With existing ski
poles:
Measure your ski poles from top of grip to bottom of tip (entire length).
|
|
Without existing ski
poles:
You really should have your boots and skis on to do this accurately.
Otherwise, add about 2 inches to the length you determine below to account
for the thickness of the boot sole and liner, and height of the skis and
bindings. This is especially important with the newer ski/bindings that have
tall carving plates.
Make a fist and hold your arm out in front of you with your elbow touching
your side and your fist oriented as if you were holding a ski pole. Make
sure that your forearm is parallel to the ground by having a helper direct
you or by standing in front of a mirror. The distance from the floor to the
top of your thumb is your pole length

Use the
following table as a crosscheck against above ski pole measurements. Results
are more accurate if skier height is determined with ski boots on and
actually clipped into your skis. |
