❓ People Also Ask

Are carbon fiber ski poles better than aluminum?

Yes. Carbon fiber poles offer a higher strength-to-weight ratio and dampen vibration better, improving feedback and reducing arm fatigue. However, aluminum poles may be more affordable and dent-resistant.

How do I choose the right ski pole length?

Stand with your ski boots on and invert the pole to grip just below the basket. Your elbow should be at a 90° angle. Refer to a height-based chart for a quick estimate.

Can I replace the baskets on these poles?

Absolutely. The XA-80’s removable basket system allows you to swap to larger powder baskets or smaller groomer baskets in seconds.

How do I care for carbon fiber ski poles?

After each day, wipe down poles with a damp cloth to remove snow and salt. Store them indoors away from direct heat to prevent tip and grip damage.

When shopping for ski poles, look for:

• Material Quality: High carbon fiber content for strength and lightness.
• Grip Comfort: Ergonomic designs with non-slip textures.
• Adjustability: Telescoping models for multiple sports or rental fleets.
• Tip & Basket Options: Versatile systems for different snow conditions.
• Weight: Lighter poles improve stamina and responsiveness.

While pure carbon fiber poles can be prone to breakage under extreme lateral forces, the XA-80’s 80% carbon fiber blend with reinforced PP sections offers a sweet spot: ultralight agility with increased impact resistance. This hybrid approach caters to skiers who demand both downhill speed and reliability on mixed terrain.
