LEKI Cross Trail 3 TA trekking poles strike an effective balance between weight, adjustability, efficient performance, and durability that makes them equally adept on trail runs, extended backpacking trips, and everything in between!
The ergonomic Cross Shark cork grips are far more robust than what is often found on running poles but also lighter and less bulky than those of traditional hiking poles, making them ideal for any number of activities and all year round. The grips also employ LEKI's dynamic Trigger Shark straps to create a connection point between your hands and the poles. This provides ergonomic performance, enhances agility, and effectively transfers power while in use. A security release system enables you to quickly connect and disconnect from the poles to change your grip position. If you prefer, you can remove the straps entirely and use the poles without them.
The three aluminum shaft sections employ a telescoping design to provide a length adjustability range of 39.4"-53.1". Integrated, easy-to-use Speed Lock external locking mechanisms simplify adjustment while ensuring stability and keeping sections securely in place.
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. Low-profile trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable with a simple screw on/off design. Optional snowflake and deep powder baskets (sold separately) allow the poles to be converted for winter use. LEKI Cross Trail 3 TA trekking poles are sold in pairs.
