Adjustable aluminium poles for alpine hiking
Leki's Skytera Lite poles are part of their high-performance alpine range, incorporating a telescopic design with top-grade aluminium construction. Sturdier than the more minimalist fixed-length carbon models in the Skytera family and with 35cm of adjustability (100–135cm), they're ideal for those who are willing to trade a smidge of extra weight for toughness and versatility. At 217g, they're still lightweight for aluminium poles, and the 3-section construction collapses down to 67cm for transport. The Verticon grip system combines ergonomic Aergon foam with lightweight construction for comfortable all-day use. Wrist straps use ultralight mesh material that's quick-drying and breathable, while Leki's reliable Speed Lock plus system lets you quickly tweak the length for the terrain. They come with trekking baskets fitted, plus alternative Tour Baskets included for snow or mud conditions.
