Darkside Ski Pole Straps

Called Darkside. Made for the bright side of a ski day. Bryn Merrell’s playful, mountain-inspired artwork brings color and a little joy to your poles, turning a familiar piece of gear into a canvas for independent art.

A self-taught artist based in Lake Tahoe, Bryn brings a whimsical perspective to outdoor adventure. From our small, craft-focused Montana brand, these replacement ski pole straps pair her creative spirit with practical details you’ll appreciate each time you head back out for another lap.

An ongoing artist partnership

Bryn’s artwork is at the heart of this design. Our collaboration goes beyond featuring her art: she receives a share of every sale featuring her design, so your purchase supports her ongoing work as an independent artist. It’s part of how we build lasting relationships with the people behind our gear. Discover more of Bryn’s work at brynmerrell.com.

Crafted for days on snow

These straps keep their shape to make slipping your hands in easier with gloves or mittens. Their distinctive artwork also helps you pick out your poles in a crowded rack when it’s time to head back out after lunch.

Built to be beautiful and hard-wearing, Darkside brings a little personality to everything from early-season groomers to spring slush laps. Consider it a conversation starter for your next chairlift ride.

Check your pole grips before ordering

These are replacement straps for many standard alpine ski pole grips, not a universal fit. Compare your existing strap attachment with these measurements:

• Insertion section: ½ inch wide, the section that slides into the grip.
• Grommet opening: 3/16 inch, designed to accept your existing grip screw or pin.

They are suitable replacements for many, but not all, Scott, Rossignol, K2, Kerma, Jski, Grass Sticks, and Komperdell poles. Compatibility depends on the grip and attachment, not just the brand. Follow the step-by-step strap replacement instructions on our site when installing.
