New for 2011! LEKI's Khumbu AERGON SpeedLock trekking poles offer high-performance features at a budget-friendly price. Easy-to-use external locking mechanisms and ergonomic AERGON grips equip these poles for varied terrain. Incorporating a 15-degree positive angle that preserves a natural position for your wrists, the dynamic, lightweight AERGON grips have an ovoid shape that can be palmed or held traditionally. A rubberized, dimpled top offers a textured grip point and easy-adjust straps reduce stress on your wrists and provide additional security and comfort. LEKI's SpeedLock system utilizes an integrated stainless steel pressure plate to provide a secure lock and keep pole sections from slipping. The fiberglass-reinforced mechanism resists stretching so it retains its locking ability after repeated use. Adjusting pole length on-the-fly has never been easier. Khumbu AERGON SpeedLock poles employ carbide flex tips that deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections. This reduces the risk of pole breakage if the pole should get caught between rocks or tree roots on the trail. Standard trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable with a simple screw on/off design that stays secure. Optional snowflake and deep powder baskets (sold separately) allow the poles to be converted for winter use. LEKI Khumbu AERGON SpeedLock poles are sold in pairs.
