Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a pole shaft for a cross-country ski pole. Longitudinal and transverse fiber layers are used for providing a hollow shaft, whose cross section changes progressively downwards into a droplet shape and, below the mid-way point of a shaft, the length of a droplet shape in relation to its width increases while the cross-sectional area diminishes. By virtue of the droplet shape, the pole can be given more rigidity in skiing direction, whereby the bottom end of a pole can be made lighter while improving the aerodynamics of a pole.
