LEKI Lhasa Lite Women's (2013) Trekking Poles (Pair)

Weighing in at only 15.8 ounces per pair and featuring innovative grips and external locking mechanisms, LEKI Lhasa Lite Women's trekking poles are ideal for thru hikers and ounce counting backpackers. Incorporating a 15 degree positive angle that preserves a natural position for your wrists, the dynamic, lightweight AERGON COR TEC Compact grips have an ovoid shape that can be palmed or held traditionally. The grip is made from 80% natural ground cork and 20% latex, making it strong and comfortable. A rubberized, dimpled top offers a textured grip point and easy adjust straps reduce stress on your wrists and provide additional security and comfort. Lhasa Lite Women's 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. Standard 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's Speed Lock system utilizes an integrated stainless steel pressure plate to provide a secure lock and keep pole sections from slipping. The fiberglass reinforced mechanism resists stretching so it retains its locking ability after repeated use. Adjusting pole length on the fly has never been easier.LEKI Lhasa Lite Women's trekking poles are sold in pairs. T631 2111
