Using 0.7xheight might be sound advice for nordic walking, but doesn't work for trekking. It results in the poles being at a substantial angle to the rear.LTfit said:"Official" recommentation (originator Nordic Walking) is 0.70 x walker' s height. Never calculated myself but my forearm is at a 90 degree angle in relation to pole when placed straight in front of me.
