I'm 5'10" 175 and I got the 169s (I got them super cheap and that was the only size available). I really wish I had the 179s... so definitely get the 179. I love them though!

169s way too short for you, I look at them at the store the other day. I'm 5'10, they were like at my shoulder, i don't know how they got measured, I have pair of 165TMs that go way higher

Either your full of shit, or you only thought you had 169's. besides my 179 fuji's(eyebrow level) I still have some Pe's 169 And I'm 6'2'' and there at my nostrils/mouth-ish.

No idea, I was just looking around. Highly doubt they were 159s if they even go that low. The things were easily at my shoulder, and I grabbed the 179's behind them and they were at the top of my head. Maybe they really were 159s, I don't know I'm pretty sure they were 69s

I'm 5'10 and 140 lbs and I ride 169's but I wish I had 179's. They are fun, don't get me wrong but once you break in the 179's they will be soo fucking fun. Go for 179's, 99% of the time you will wish you had a longer ski and 1% you will wish you had a shorter ski.

I'm 6 foot and 169 goes to the tip of my nose. Definitely much taller than shoulder height.
