Swix Quantum 1 Nordic Ski Poles

Yes, the Quantum 1 is designed to be versatile enough for both classic and skating techniques, making them a great choice for young skiers who are still exploring different styles.

The X-fit strap is designed for easier entry and a more secure fit than traditional loops. It provides better power transfer and control, helping young skiers focus on their technique rather than struggling to keep their poles in place.

Aluminum is chosen for this model because it offers a superior balance of durability and weight for younger skiers. It is robust enough to withstand the inevitable bumps and falls of learning, while remaining light enough to prevent fatigue during longer sessions.

The 97 racing basket is specifically optimized for groomed trails. While it provides excellent stability on packed snow, it may sink in deep, ungroomed powder, so these are best suited for maintained cross-country tracks.

For classic skiing, the poles should generally reach the child's shoulder, while skate poles should reach the nose or lips. Since these are available in 110 cm and 115 cm lengths, measure your child's height and standing reach to ensure the best fit for their specific discipline.
