Your cart is empty.Finally an alternative is here with the Lucky Bums Easy Wedge! Made of more durable material than other products on the market, the Easy Wedge is the quintessential confidence booster making kids more comfortable on their skis by helping them form a wedge to facilitate turns, control speed, and on that last run of the day when they are feeling a bit tired. Keep the Easy Wedge in your pocket and use whenever your kids try new or more aggressive terrain.

If you are going to teach children to ski, you will need one of these, as they are as essential as the skis themselves. Both kids have learned to ski with these and they make keeping your "pie wedge" or "snowplow" easy and learning fun. Not to say they won't cross their skis once in a while or wipe out, but it is night and day compared to trying to do this without the strap. It gives kids a lot of confidence and helps them to learn the stance/muscle memory for a fun day on the slopes.

Pretty basic setup that works decently well. There's no a lot of other options out there, so I chose this unit.You will need to make sure to tighten the clamps throughout the day as they will work themselves loose.

we have used Lucky Bum Ski Wedge in the past - with quite a lot of success. However, this time, the conditions were wet, and raininy - and not really a ski weekened... but we went anyway. we had a really hard time tightening this product enough to overcome the set slippery conditions. They kept sliding off the ski tips. in those conditions, I was really wishing that it had a larger handle for tightening the screw. I don't know that it's a defect in the product, or just that we were using it in undesirable conditions... either way, at the end of the day we had given up trying to put these on.

Broke on first use. We purchased 2 wedges, one or each of our boys. On our very first use, actually the first run of the night one of the wedges snapped. The other is still working fine after 4 uses, but they are clearly not sturdy.

Helped my two year old greatly while he developed the strength to actually hold the wedge on his own. Also worth mentioning, one of the clips shattered shortly after purchasing. I contacted Lucky Bums and their customer service staff was immediately responsive and sent me a replacement with zero hassle.

I bought this when I was teaching my son to ski, as I had borrowed a similar device from a friend. Well, the ones from my friend actually stayed on the skis, but these kept popping off, which makes them pretty useless.I cranked them down, time and time again, even putting marks into the skis, but they simply wouldn't stay attached to the ski. Luckily, they were only needed a few times, as they were really annoying to use.Nice idea, poor execution. They really need to redesign the clamp.

As a ski instructor I bought this and the clamp on style as well. This tool works and is wide spread among the instructors I know. I found it was hard to keep on my students skis as they walked after a run. One end would come loose. It was difficult to re apply with cold fingers. It did mar the tops of skis that I had to tighten it real tight on. A couple times I had to resort to pliers to loosen it to remove an end. Compare with a vise grip style clamp version before you make a purchase.

This was the first wedge tip holder I bought and it's definitely the best of the three that I've tried. I bought the Edgie Wedgie for a friend, and a velco one came with a harness I bought.I liked the Lucky Bums the best because it seemed to be the sturdiest; I liked that it was made of elasticized cord rather than just tubing. While it might not be the case, the Edgie's tubing seemed like it would come off whereas the Lucky Bums' band seems firmly attached to the clamps. The clamps on the Lucky Bums Easy Wedge are also slightly wider and fit a wider variety of skis. We actually had a pair of skis that the Edgie Wedgie's clamp was too small for. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Easy Wedge. It does exactly what it's supposed to do and rarely comes off the skis; when it does come off, it's very easy to reattach. I feel bad that I purchased another brand for my friend as I thought they were pretty much the same but they're definitely not!
