A ski pole handle which includes a main gripping portion defined by an upstanding elongated body having upper and lower body portions, opposite inboard and outboard lateral faces and opposite forward and rear faces; a generally tubular thumb-receiving channel disposed at the upper body portion, the elongated body defining a handle portion disposed beneath the thumb-receiving channel and being adapted to accommodate and be gripped between a skier's fingers and palm, the thumb-receiving channel having an inner bottom thumb-supporting generally convexly curved surface merging with the rear face whereby a person's thumb and particularly the phalanges, metacarpus and the associated ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophalangeal joint are protected against injury normally attributed to abduction/extension of the thumb which is the usual cause of typical collateral ligament injury resulting from a skiing fall, a pair of laterally outboard knuckle-protecting sheets, one ascending and depending to collectively define with the handle portion a protective area within which is disposed the knuckles of a skier's hand, and the lower body portion defining an upwardly facing edge along the forward, rear and outboard lateral faces for supporting the hypothenar surface of the skier's hand. |
