The flagship model by the legendary, longstanding trekking pole pioneer Leki. Designed for rugged use, the grip is pitched at 15 degrees, reducing wear and tear on your wrists by absorbing shocks more effectively. Further reducing stress on the joints is an adjustable anti-shock mechanism built into the shaft. The grips are made of perennially popular cork, actually a very durable, tactile rubber and cork composite. This is the pair of poles that we wish we had on Kilimanjaro. Weight for the two is just 21.7 ounces. They fold down to 26.8". All Leki poles come with a five year warranty.
