The Makalu is a staple of Leki's range, and this Pro FX Carbon version brings performance racing carbon to a folding design with 20cm of telescopic adjustment. At 255g, it's light enough for serious mountain hiking while offering the versatility of adjustable length. The 5-section construction folds down to 41cm for compact packing, with a locking device to make sure the poles don’t collapse accidentally. The Aergon Air grip system is designed to be incredibly comfortable in the hand – with a hollow core to keep the weight down and a large extended grip zone with rubberised and textured surfaces. You’ve got simple, adjustable wrist straps, and the poles come fitted with versatile trekking baskets that you can switch out for snow or mud ones if needs be.

If you’re looking to hike further, faster and for longer, here’s our advice: invest in a pair of trekking poles. Because let’s face it, we can always use a little extra speed, stability and support on our adventures. And if you’re in the market for poles, there’s one brand that consistently comes at the head of the pack: Leki.
We mean that literally. Record-breaking mountain athletes, from sky-runners to skiers, are part of the brand’s elite roster. Leki uses their input to continually refine and improve their extensive product range. Or as they put it: “When the best in the world are 100% satisfied, so are we”.
It’s an approach that works in conjunction with meticulous design, technically advanced materials and state-of-the-art construction methods to ensure that Leki poles are the undisputed market leader. If you want proof, how’s this: the company owns more than 250 patents in trekking pole technologies. Which means that when it comes to build quality and performance, Leki truly are poles apart.
