If you are looking for a light weight, easily compacted set of walking poles that will take you from Kilimanjaro to Yosemite and the British Isles, this attractively priced set is an excellent choice. Made of a rugged aluminum titanium alloy, they are the lightest adult trekking pole on the market, 15.3 ounces for the pair. They fold down to just 23 inches, a boon for the traveler. Fully adjustable (from 24 to 52 inches) with an easy lock system, cork top and high tech foam rubber grip (which accommodates a variety of hand sizes comfortably). All Leki poles come with a five year warranty.  (STF12, $109.95)
