| LEKI Aergon Corklite Speedlock Trekking Poles (pair) |
 |
From the lightest range that LEKI produce, high quality aluminium shafts ensure a long life. For an ultralight backpacker the combined weight is down to a manageable 540g. This is less than the weight of some tent pole sets so you can combine these poles with an ultralite shelter and carry them with very little weight penalty. These poles feature the easy to use Leki Speedlock system, giving them a very strong locking force along with super fast adjustment.
LEKI guarantee the aluminium shafts for life against breakage.
"Incredibly comfortable in the hand - light, strong and easy to handle. Pretty much perfect" - Country Walking Magazine Recommends

The length of the strap can be adjusted to individual preference.
You can smoothly adjust whether the strap should extend automatically when pulled upwards or remain completely locked.
With a downward push the strap length remains locked in every situation.

One pole or two?
Generally speaking, if you're traveling easy terrain with no load, one pole may be sufficient. If, however, you're traveling varied terrain or carrying a load, you'll want the support and stability that two poles will provide you.
Our Verdict
LEKI is the market leader for walking poles so the quality of these poles is guaranteed. In my experience, during a long day on uneven ground the benefits of walking poles seem obvious.
We like the new 'Speed-Lock', having experienced poles that cannot be opened or closed the Speed-lock eliminates this potential problem, there is a weight penalty though - making these slightly heavier than standard poles.
