Considering the Gossamer Gear carbon fiber trekking poles, but I don't know how to determine which length I need to purchase. Any advice??? Thanks!

Gossamer Gear poles are measured from the tip of the pole to the top of the handle which makes it somewhat easier to calculate. Since the normal length when gripping the handle would be with the arm at a 90 degree angle to the body, it equates to measuring the distance from between 2" and 3" below the arm pit to the floor. This gives the distance from tip to top, just as the Gossamer Gear poles are measured.
