Komperdell Leather Snowbaskets for Ski and Trekking Poles

I have been looking for decent ski pole basket replacement for my husband's poles for a long time. These look like a replacement that will actually fit the bill.

I didn't need these baskets this past winter (not even close to normal amounts of snow), but in past years I wished I had baskets like these. Lots of miles on untracked deep powder snow would have been easier with these baskets.

A great add on for back-country winter touring. Big powder baskets

Nice large size snow basket.

I first just tried removing the basket from the pole with my hands. Then I tried holding the pole with a pair of pliers and twisting the basket off. That scraped up the pole and did not remove the basket. I eventually had to clamp the pole in a vise and have my 23 year old strapping muscley son twist the basket off. The pole ended up deformed by the vise so I could not return the pole, but I durn well returned the baskets. Just buy a pair of ski poles rather than trying to mess with these.
