I know this question has been asked a lot and I’ve read through all the posts and am still stumped. I posted recently that I just got the Leki Trigger S system poles. Well the truth is I actually have three different pairs of Leki poles sitting in my den! All different lengths - 105, 110, 115. I cannot figure out what size to keep. My current poles that I’ve used for a good 15 years are Goode and somewhere between 110 and 115. From reading the threads here, I know I shouldn’t go longer so I’m going to rule out the 115s.
That leaves the 105s and 110s. The issue is that the 105s are the women’s specific poles and the 110s aren’t. The grip definitely feels more comfortable on the women’s, and so really my question is do you think 105s are way too short? And will it be a huge difference coming from my old poles which are, let’s say, around 112cm? I’m 5’2”, mostly ski groomers and some bumps, very rarely, if any, powder.
For what it worth, I did the upside down test. With my boots on and flexed, my arm is a little greater then 90 degrees with the 105s.
Driving myself (and my husband) crazy!!
