LEKI Makalu Lite AS Trekking Poles

Why We Like The LEKI Makalu Lite AS Trekking Poles

LEKI´s Makalu Lite AS Trekking Poles make our mountain adventures easier on our bodies. The anti-shock model is equipped with the DSS damping system above the tips of the poles, which reduces stress on our muscles, joints, and ligaments as we hike up and down the trail. The poles´ aluminum build balances weight savings with durability, while the Speedlock+ system lets us adjust our length on the fly—adding length on steep descents or shortening them for steep climbs—and lets us share our poles with friends and family members of different heights.
