Minimalist fixed-length carbon poles for fast alpine hiking
Leki's Skytera FX.ONE SL poles are developed for fast and light mountain hikers, with the emphasis firmly on speed and simplicity. A fixed-length design with a simple push-button folding system means fewer moving parts and less weight, while the carbon construction uses the highest-grade racing carbon available in any Leki pole. At 158g (for the 120cm model), they're seriously light, and the 4-section design collapses down to just 36cm for compact packing. The Verticon grip system combines ergonomic Aergon foam with extremely lightweight construction for comfortable all-day use, while the wrist straps use mesh material that's quick-drying and breathable. They come with smaller Nordic baskets fitted for fast hiking, plus alternative Tour Baskets for snowy or muddy conditions.
