ABSTRACT:
A combination ski pole grip, and a form-fitting hand strap which can be comfortably worn by a skier and selectively secured to a pole grip for use in all alpine and nordic skiing and competition. The hand strap comprises a wrist band and a palm strap which traverses across the skier's palm and which is wider proximate the wrist band than a midsection disposed between the thumb and index finger. The wrist band forms an inverted V-shape over the palm and above the wrist such that the hand strap provides the thumb and wrist with a full range of motion, does not migrate up the hand, cannot rotate about the skier's wrist, provides better application of poling force, and generates no pressure points on the hand and wrist. The palm strap includes a securing mechanism, as does the pole grip, such that the hand strap can be quickly and easily detached and reattached from the pole grip at any time the skier chooses. Further, the wrist band and palm strap are provided with adjustment features such that the hand strap can be comfortably adapted to conform to a particular skier's hand.
