Lightweight baskets that provide trekking poles with stability on snow, sand, and mud.
Mountain King says:
Designed to prevent sinking into soft surfaces like snow and sand, these durable baskets ensure stability and confidence on your outdoor adventures. Compatible with all Mountain King poles, they are easy to attach and built to withstand rugged conditions.
Our Verdict
At 12g for the pair, the Mountain King Snow and Sand Baskets provide a practical solution to prevent poles from sinking in loose ground. The 90mm profile provides sufficient surface area to improve balance without obstructing movement on firmer paths. Attachment is quick and secure, twisting easily onto compatible Mountain King poles, and once fitted, they stay put under regular use.
Durability feels good for their weight, with the plastic holding up to normal abrasion. As with any lightweight basket, sharp rocks and icy crust are the main hazards; however, with careful use, they should last well.
