Carbon fibre pole ergonomically designed for female hikers

When it comes to hiking and trekking, one size really doesn’t fit all. And that applies to poles too, which makes it kinda frustrating that most poles have a long range of adjustment intended for 6ft-plus men. The Leki Cressida pole is refreshingly different. Specialised for users under 5'6" in height, this short, superlight pole is ideal for petite women and younger hikers. It doesn’t skimp on top end features either: the carbon-fibre, Z-folding design collapses down to just 40cm. A Speed Lock 2 lever gives on-the-move length adjustment from 100 to 120cm. It also features Leki’s Aergon Air foam grip, which is ideal for mountain hiking and trekking, with a weight-saving, large-profile head for comfort and a contoured, easily adjustable fabric strap. An extended lower section enables you to choke down on steeper ascents. The pole is also equipped with a high-tech external locking mechanism for reliable support and intuitive folding. For stability and reliability over mixed terrain, these poles are the perfect choice.
