LEKI Micro Vario Ti (2014) Trekking Poles (Pair)

Updated for 2014! Ideal for hikers, mountaineers or trail runners who value maximum collapsibility but will not skimp on adjustability, LEKI Micro Vario Ti aluminum trekking poles offer durable, lightweight 18.3 ozper pair performance in pack friendly dimensions.Incorporating an ergonomic 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. Rubberized, dimpled tops offer textured grip points and ultra lightweight, easy to 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 shafts, eliminating the need to shorten the length of the poles every time you encounter a steep slope or side hill traverse.The Speed Lock System consists of a concealed inner cord that runs through all three sections of the Micro Vario Ti 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 and a short range of adjustability of 43.5 51.Carbide flex tips deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections. This reduces the risk of pole breakage if poles 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 Micro Vario Ti poles to be converted for winter use.LEKI Micro Vario Ti trekking poles are sold in pairs. T634 2075
