Light, stiff and durable, the Salomon QST Carbon S3 ski poles have a 100 to 135 cm adjustable range and extended grips to keep your hold secure and at the perfect height no matter where you venture.
- Shafts made from highly stiff and light Carbon**** composite, a high-grade composite material of carbon and fiberglass
- Fiberglass is highly durable and resistant to chipping while carbon fiber is inherently stiff and light
- Lightweight 14–16 mm shafts with Kevlar® reinforcements keep the weight down without sacrificing sturdiness or strength
- Easy Lock system makes it simple to lock the poles anywhere between 100 and 135 cm, so it's always fine-tuned to the slope angles and conditions of your skiing
- Salomon Safety System (S3) is a built-in safety release system that allows the straps to release from the poles in the case of a fall to protect against injuries
- S3 bi-material grips combine rubber and foam with integrated S3 safety technology; S3 premium straps feature safety auto-release for sketchy situations
- The extended foam grips, S3 premium straps and interchangeable backside baskets add security, comfort and convenience to your backcountry outings

Sizing Notes
Please note, this sizing chart is meant to serve only as a guideline.
Sizing downhill poles: Stand in your ski boots on a level floor. With your poles upside down—grips touching the floor—grab the pole beneath the basket so that the top of your thumb touches the basket. Your elbow should now be at a 90-degree angle. If the angle is less than 90 degrees, get a shorter pole. If the angle is greater, get a longer pole.
Sizing XC poles: Stand in your XC ski boots on a level floor. Place the pole tips on the floor next to your feet. The top of the grips should reach your arm pits.
Sizing skate poles: Stand in your skate boots on a level floor. Place pole tips on the ground with the pole shafts perpendicular to the floor. The poles should reach from the ground up to a point somewhere between your chin and your lips.
