ABSTRACT:
A ski pole assembly and a ski pole and ski glove combination. The grip includes a central core member of a relatively hard low friction material and an outer sheath member of a relatively soft high friction material. The core member includes raised pads proximate the upper end of the grip and the sheath includes windows receiving the pads so as to expose the pad surfaces and provide low friction pivot areas proximate the upper end of the grip to facilitate the swinging movement of the pole. The core member includes a downwardly opening bore receiving the upper end of the shaft of the ski pole and allowing the shaft to be adjustably positioned in the bore to selectively vary the overall length of the ski pole. The lower end of the bore as it exits the core member is oversized with respect to the shaft diameter and the sheath includes an annular liner portion extending upwardly into the bore and having an inner diameter approximating the diameter of the shaft so that the liner tightly embraces the shaft as the shaft enters the bore. The core member includes a slit proximate the lower end of the core member and a fastener assembly extends through cross bores in the portions of the core member on opposite sides of the slit to clamp the core member to the shaft in any longitudinal positions of adjustment of the core member on the shaft.
