What size would you recommend for someone 5'9"?
Thanks
A great ski mountaineering race pole at a great price. The RSR Carbon Pro pole uses High Modulus carbon fiber to provide strength for everyday training without the weight penalty on race day. La Sportiva poles are hand made in Italy and guaranteed to be of the highest quality and performance.
- 100% High Modulus 3K Twill Carbon Fiber is light and strong, optimizing power transfer.
- Polyurethane and rubber race grip provides excellent handling while climbing or skiing.
- Removeable comfort padded straps feature an in-grip adjustment system for customizing the length.
- Race basket with angled carbide tip is durable and great for skating those flat stretches.
- Great price point for a carbon race pole that meets all ISMF specifications.

Hi Benoit, pole length can be a personal preference for racing and touring, but I'd do the 130s at your height.

hey jason - this may be a dumb question but i'm asking it anyways...is it possible to remove the grip from these to cut off 2-3cm to get the perfect length? thanks

Hi Andrew, it is possible but not easy. You need to boil the handles for a while to soften the glue enough to not damage them. Getting them back on takes some muscle as well.

Hi Matty, thanks for the feedback! We have some Dynafit butterfly baskets on the way which are nice, they splay open and closed based on the terrain. Haven't verified compatibility with the RSR yet but they should work.
