Leki Makalu Lite Trekking Poles (Pair)
A three-section aluminium trekking pole built for those who want the dependability of the Makalu platform in a lighter, slimmer construction. It's well-suited for faster-paced mountain days, lighter pack carry, and those who prefer a more nimble pole underfoot.
The Makalu Lite utilises a three-section Vario telescopic design which is constructed from HTS 6.5 aluminium through the upper, middle and lower sections, for structural integrity, reliability and comfort when tackling tough hiking trails. This structure allows you to use it time and time again, whilst the Aergon Air grip (2K Foam, Standard size) uses hollow core grip technology, which doesn't add undue weight while providing a large textured surface for you to hold. Lighter in weight than the Makalu, the Lite version uses a 16|14|12mm section construction, making it easy to carry and allowing it to pack down small. For fast adjustability on the move, the poles utilise Leki's Speed Lock plus external lever. This provides precise adjustment with a range of 110cm to 130cm, and is glove-compatible for easy use. Working to ensure comfort, the Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0 is a comfortable, continuously adjustable strap for an irritation-free design, ensuring comfort on long days. Adding durability and extra comfort, the poles feature a Flex Tip Short (Carbide) for durable, reliable performance on rocky and mixed mountain ground. The Trekking 2.0 basket is also included for confident use when hiking mixed trail conditions.
