LEKI Makalu Pro FX Carbon Trekking Poles One Color, One Size

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I reach for these when I want a lightweight pole that still feels solid on technical terrain. The carbon construction keeps them light on long climbs, and the folding design packs down small when they're strapped to a pack. The cork Aergon grip is especially comfortable during long descents."Long mountain approaches, steep climbs, and loose descents demand support we can trust. The Makalu Pro FX Carbon Trekking Poles from LEKI give us lightweight stability for everything from scenic ridge hikes to demanding alpine tours. Their folding carbon design keeps weight low while packing down compactly, making them easy to stash when scrambling sections or traveling between trail systems. The poles combine advanced materials with ergonomic comfort. PRC 1000 carbon construction delivers impressive strength while keeping the swing weight low for efficient movement over long distances. The Aergon Air grip uses real cork for natural comfort and moisture management, while a hollow-core design creates large supportive surfaces that fit the hand naturally. A foam grip extension allows quick hand position changes on steep climbs, and the Speed Lock 2 Plus adjustment system lets us fine-tune pole length between 110 and 130cm. The folding construction uses an External Locking Device that opens or collapses the pole quickly with a push-button mechanism, keeping transitions simple on the trail. Trekking baskets maintain stability on softer ground while the flex tip grips rock and dirt with reliable traction, giving us confident contact on varied terrain.
