High-alpine folding carbon pole that balances weight with performance
Leki's Skysolo FX Carbon poles are engineered for high-alpine adventures – keeping the weight as low as possible but prioritising performance and strength over shaving off every last gram. At 238g, they’re still impressively lightweight, and the 5-section carbon construction – complete with an external locking device – folds down to just 42cm for compact packing. You’ve got 20cm of adjustable length, secured via Leki’s reliable Speed Lock system. The Verticon grip is one of their lightest and most comfortable, combining ergonomic Aergon foam with extremely lightweight construction. Adjustable straps use ultralight, mesh material that’s quick-drying and breathable. It comes with versatile trekking baskets fitted, and they’ve also thrown in a set of Big Mountain Binding baskets for snowy conditions.
