Reliable aluminium telescopic pole for mountain hiking
The Khumbu is the mid-range workhorse of Leki’s trekking pole range – not your super-pricey high-performance alpine model, but a well-made hiking pole that's more than a match for long treks and mountain adventures. Made from high-grade heat-treated aluminium with a generous 35cm of telescopic adjustment, it combines reliable construction with ergonomic comfort. At 250g, it's lightweight enough for all-day use, and collapses down to 68cm for transport. The Aergon grip is an all-rounder for trekking and mountaineering – comfortable and ergonomic, with adjustable wrist straps. Leki's reliable Speed Lock plus system secures your chosen length, and it comes fitted with versatile trekking baskets that you can easily switch out for snow or mud baskets if needs be.
