Komperdell Winter Trekking Pole Baskets - Pair

I purchased with a set of komperdell adjustable length poles for showshoe and telemark. The baskets pop on the poles easily, but do not have a locking function. Only the friction of the plastic groove where it meets the base of the pole. I lost one powder basket on the first short outing. These fall off easily, so a hose clamp or other workaround will be necessary. Not good if you get way out in the back country in deep powder and loose a basket.

I needed some baskets to replace the soft powder baskets on my adjustable Komperdell poles and these winter baskets fit perfectly and work great on the ski hill.

The locking technology on the length adjustment system works well and is convincingly sturdy and easy to use. Be sure and rotate the baskets to lock them on, or they will come off.

I'm using these for backcountry skiing

Design problem: Komperdell's Bayonet-style fastening system is vulnerable to loss of the basket if twisted the wrong way when caught between rocks. I've lost several (in fact, the reason for this purchase). I'm going to try and do some sort of safety cord that enables me to retain the basket when it comes off.
