Amazing Service

Because you deserve it.

Ideal for backpackers, hikers, and alpinists and built to tackle demanding terrain, LEKI Makalu Cork FX TA trekking poles offer reliable year-round performance, maximum collapsibility, innovative tactile cork grips, and telescoping height adjustability.

Description

Aluminum construction balances weight and long-term durability: The pole consists of three folding aluminum shafts sections that provide strength without excessive weight. After each shaft section is aligned, a push button mechanism tensions and locks the poles securely in place. When you are ready to collapse them, push in the button to disengage the lock and fold up your poles. Easy-to-use external locking mechanisms on the upper sections provide a short range of height adjustability with confidence that sections hold securely in place while in use.
Aergon Air grips provide ergonomic support and comfort: Hollow-core construction keeps weight to a minimum and positive angle tops and diamond shaped surfaces properly fit your hand and allow wrists to maintain a more natural position. The extended length allows you to change your grip position without constantly having to adjust the height of the poles. The material delivers a comfortable, confident in-hand feel and adjustable straps help to alleviate stress on your wrists.
Carbide flex tips ensure dependable traction: The poles' 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. LEKI's Trekking Baskets are included and are interchangeable with other baskets (sold separately).
Built for longevity with patented FX technology: LEKI's commitment to service and repair led to the creation of their FX technology, which allows you to easily replace the two lowest sections within minutes. If one of those sections breaks or becomes damaged, a replacement section can be obtained without needing to buy a complete set of new poles.
