 Poster: A snowHead
|
I've a friend who lost one but to replace cost £25.00 or snow and rock tells him, almost half the cost of his poles
Anyone know any cheaper sources?

Good question. I've got leki poles with straps, which are attached to my gloves, but I rarely, if ever, actually attach the straps to the poles. They are as much - or as little - use as any other pole straps. In theory they should detach in a heavy fall thus preventing the kind of thumb injury which certainly can (despite some scepticism on recent snowheads threads) be caused by pole straps which are very strong - even if they are held correctly.

Sorry cant help with replacement. I have been using Leki poles for the last 3 years, and I really like them. I find them easy and quick to use , I also like the comfort and support they give to your hands. The other advantage is that they release if you have a really big shunt.

I have leki poles with the straps you are talking about. I love them. One benefit is that when you are getting on lifts etc you just clip them on and off which is a lot less faffy than threading your hand through. I also have very small hands so I find that the leki strap fitting closely across my palm is much more comfortable and less of a handful than normal straps.

Careful as Leki have 3 different systems in use. Need to know if Yellow clips, red clips or plastic rings
Having said that I love my leki straps

Have you tried contacting Leki directly rather than Snow and Rock?

They are slightly different shapes and thicknesses. I'm not sure they are interchangeable

Haven't really found out. Yes, they do release, in theory. But only in one direction, any other direction and there is no way to get free of them. After one slow fall that twisted my wrist so it was sore for weeks I stopped wearing the straps.

1969jma, Is this a glove strap for a trigger pole? A glove strap for a Trigger S which has a loop, or an ordinary strap that has pulled from pole?

You know it makes sense.

Lost one last week and picked up replacement pair in Snell Sports in Chamonix - £20 for pair. Fairly certain can order online from them as well.
