Leki’s high-alpine folding carbon pole in a shorter length
Leki's Skysolo FX Carbon Compact poles offer the same high-alpine engineering as the 5-section version but in a 4-section folding design that’s 20cm shorter. Still engineered for adventures where performance and strength matter more than shaving off every last gram, they weigh just 238g and fold down to an impressively compact 41cm. The 4-section carbon construction gives you 20cm of adjustable length (100–120cm) secured via Leki's reliable Speed Lock system. The Verticon grip system combines ergonomic Aergon foam with extremely lightweight construction for comfortable all-day use. Adjustable wrist straps are made from ultralight mesh material that's quick-drying and breathable. It comes with versatile trekking baskets fitted, plus they’ve included a set of alternative Big Mountain Binding baskets for snowy conditions.
