LEKI Micro Stick (2012) Trekking Poles (Pair)

Ideal for ounce counting hikers, backpackers, mountaineers or trail runners, LEKI Micro Stick trekking poles offer streamlined performance. Innovative collapsible construction enables Micro Stick poles to collapse down far smaller than standard aluminum trekking poles.Incorporating a 15 degree positive angle that preserves a natural position for your wrists, lightweight AERGON Thermo XL grips have an ovoid shape that can be palmed or held traditionally. A rubberized, dimpled top offers a textured grip point and easy adjust straps reduce stress on your wrists and provide additional security and comfort. The extended length of the grips allows you to grasp lower on the shaft, eliminating the need to shorten the length of the poles every time you encounter a steep slope or side hill traverse.The Speed Lock Span System consists of a concealed inner cord that runs through all three sections of the Micro Stick poles. After each shaft section is aligned, the external Speed Lock lever flips down to tension the pole and lock each section securely in place. This innovate design saves weight and increases collapsibility while still delivering surprising strength.NOTE: Though collapsible, Micro Stick poles are only available in fixed lengths 120 cm or 130 cm lengths and do not provide an adjustability range.Micro Stick poles employ carbide flex tips that deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections. This reduces the risk of pole breakage if the pole should get caught between rocks or tree roots on the trail. Small profile trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable with a simple screw onoff design that stays secure. Optional snowflake and deep powder baskets sold separately allow the poles to be converted for winter use. LEKI Micro Stick trekking poles are sold in pairs. 130cm, T633 2071 130
