Description & Features
Komperdell Pole Guards provide durable hand protection for slalom ski racing while helping deflect gates away from your hands and pole grips. Available in Profi and Wide Worldcup styles, these ski pole guards let racers choose between traditional full hand coverage and an extra-wide World Cup design built for aggressive, high-angle skiing.
The Profi Pole Guard uses an ergonomic shape for dependable hand and knuckle protection when clearing slalom gates. The Wide Worldcup Pole Guard features a specially developed wide front edge that can contact the snow to provide an additional gliding and stabilizing surface. Integrated thumb protection adds coverage for racers who routinely ski at extreme edge angles.

Construction & Technology
Profi
The Profi features Komperdell's traditional ergonomically shaped punch-cover design for dependable hand and knuckle protection. Its streamlined profile provides effective gate protection without the additional width of the Worldcup style, making it a straightforward choice for racers who prefer a conventional slalom pole guard.
Wide Worldcup
The Wide Worldcup uses a specially developed extra-wide front edge designed to contact the snow at high edge angles. Komperdell describes the design as functioning like a "third ski," creating an additional gliding and stabilizing surface while maintaining hand protection during gate contact. Integrated thumb protection extends coverage around the hand and fingers for aggressive slalom skiing.
