According to the standard sizing formula (height minus 20cm), you would need 147cm poles for skating. However, since Backcountry doesn't stock this size, you will need to do either: 1) buy 150cm poles and get them custom-cut to 147cm at a local nordic shop, or 2) go to a local shop and try out 145cm & 150cm poles for length (they should reach between your nose & eyebrow).
