It is necessary
- - centimeter;
- - pencil and eraser;
- - scales;
- - a special table.
Instructions
Step 1
There are three recognized ways to find the right size for cross-country skiing. To use any of them, find out your height and weight (or the parameters of the person for whom you are choosing sports equipment).
Step 2
Measure your height. At home, do this with a centimeter and pencil. Stand barefoot against the wall. Place your pencil on top of your head. Carefully, without pressure, make a mark. Measure the distance from the floor to her. Use a soft eraser to erase the slate line from the wall. You can find out your height using a special device (for example, in a clinic) or right in the store.
Step 3
Find out the weight of the person for whom you are picking up the size of skis. This is necessary in order to navigate the table, as well as to select the inventory of the correct rigidity.
Step 4
The modern method of selection is according to the table. With its help, knowing the parameters, you can buy skis for a person who could not come to the store (for example, for a child). Just compare the height and weight and find out the required height.
Step 5
If only height is known, add 10-15 centimeters to this number. The resulting figure is the size you need.
Step 6
When you arrive at the store not prepared, and there is no way to take measurements, use the most elementary method. Ask for a regular ruler, extend your right hand up. Attach a ruler to the tip of your ring finger and measure 10 cm down your arm. Fix this point (for example, wrap your sleeve up to it). The height of the skis should be up to the mark made.
