How are POLE POCKETS removed from skis?
To remove POLE POCKETS from your skis, it is easiest to use a credit card or key to pry up one corner or side of the POLE POCKET. Once some leverage is achieved, continue carefully working between the ski and POLE POCKET until you can peal it off of the ski by hand. It is easy to then remove any remaining adhesive on the ski with your fingers.
Will the POLE POCKET disconnect from my skis on accident?
If enough force is applied from the side, it is possible to tear the POLE POCKETS away from the ski, though it would take significant force to do so... you can even hold the ski by the POLE POCKETS alone with no issues whatsoever!

POLE POCKETS and the 3M adhesive utilized are extremely weather resistant. In fact, the bond to the ski is actually stronger the colder it gets, so you should have nothing to worry about there.
Can I ski with my poles in the POLE POCKETS?
We do not recommend extended skiing with ski poles mounted in the POLE POCKETS, after all, good skiing form requires the use of ski poles.
POLE POCKETS are designed to make management of ski poles easier in between periods of “actively” skiing.

YES! POLE POCKETS are secure enough to use on a chairlift. We actually believe it is much safe getting on and off a chairlift when using them, but we’ll let you be the judge of that for yourself!
What type of ski poles work?
We’ve been hard at work to develop a design that will securely hold the vast majority of ski poles on the market. It is very common to see ski poles with tip diameters ranging from 0.35-0.6 inches in diameter. This range of ski pole tip diameters work just fine!
Who would find the POLE POCKET most useful?
Really anyone that skis with ski poles! We’ve seen tremendous interest from ski instructors, ski patrol, as well as leisure skiers. Basically anyone who would like to have a “place” to store ski poles when they don’t want to hold them yet want to keep them nearby and easily accessible.
