Abstract
Abstract A collapsible seat for skiers comprises a narrow, elongated web provided with a centrally facing pocket at each end so that the handle portions of a pair of ski poles can be inserted into the respective pockets to suspend the central portion of the web for supporting a person in a seated position. At one or both ends of the web, a second centrally facing pocket can also be provided spaced from the endmost pocket to provide an adjustment of the height at which the seat will be suspended from the poles. A belt, or tape, can be inserted lengthwise through the center of the elongated web in an elongated direction to convert the article into a pouch which can be suspended from the waist by means of the belt or tape.
