LEKI Cross Trail FX Superlite Trekking Poles - Compact One Color, One Size

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These poles hit the sweet spot between trail-running lightness and hiking stability. The Cross Shark grip feels secure but fast to handle, and I love how breathable the mesh strap is for long efforts. They fold down small enough to stash in my pack, yet the carbon shafts and Speed Lock 2 Plus system feel rock solid on steep climbs or technical descents."" Whether we’re chasing summits or clocking fast miles through alpine trails, the LEKI Cross Trail FX Superlite Trekking Poles keep us balanced, quick, and confident. Designed for high-output mountain pursuits, these ultralight carbon poles blend the precision and speed of a trail-running pole with the support of a trekking model. The adjustable 100–120cm range lets us fine-tune our fit, while the foldable design packs down under 17 inches for easy stowage in a vest or pack. LEKI’s Cross Shark grip system combines the performance-oriented Trail Shark technology with ergonomic hiking comfort for the perfect hybrid hold. The breathable Shark Frame Strap Mesh fits securely around the hand, transferring power efficiently while minimizing fatigue. The foam grip extension offers alternate hand positions on steep grades, and the carbide tip and Trail Running Basket provide reliable traction on varied surfaces. Lightweight, compact, and built for speed, these poles are our go-to for mountain missions that demand versatility without compromise."
