"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""These poles have become my go-to for long days in the mountains. The Dynamic Suspension System really takes the sting out of rocky descents, saving my wrists and knees after big mileage. The Aergon COR-TEC grip feels natural in the hand, and the Speed Lock Plus adjustment makes fine-tuning the height super easy, even mid-hike."" Designed for hikers who demand both comfort and durability, the LEKI Khumbu Lite AS Trekking Poles are ready for any mountain adventure. Crafted from lightweight yet ultra-strong HTS 6. 5 aluminum, these poles provide reliable stability without adding unnecessary weight to your pack. The integrated Dynamic Suspension System (DSS) reduces impact forces by up to 40%, easing strain on joints and muscles so we can stay strong and steady even on the longest descents. The ergonomically shaped Aergon COR-TEC grip ensures all-day comfort and a secure hold, while the Lock Security Strap Soft 2. 0 keeps the poles close and controlled through every stride. With a quick-adjust Speed Lock Plus system, we can seamlessly adapt pole length from 100–135cm to match changing terrain. Finished with carbide DSS tips and Trekking Baskets for dependable traction, the Khumbu Lite AS poles are built to make every hike smoother, lighter, and more enjoyable."
