Why We Like The LEKI Makalu Lite AS Trekking Poles
LEKI's Makalu Lite AS Trekking Poles make our mountain adventures easier on our bodies. The anti-shock model is equipped with the DSS damping system above the tips of the poles, which reduces stress on our muscles, joints, and ligaments as we hike up and down the trail. The poles' aluminum build balances weight savings with durability, while the Speedlock+ system lets us adjust our length on the fly—adding length on steep descents or shortening them for steep climbs—and lets us share our poles with friends and family members of different heights.

Holds up to a lot of walking abuse
Bought these poles a few months ago. They are perfect for walking. Plan on using them on the Camino de Santiago in the Fall.

terrible straps!
sticks are great..except for the terrible floppy unruly straps on the handles. these are not user friendly at all. get me some straps like my 20 year old leki's...heavier and you'll get a 5 stars that leki sticks deserve.
