LEKI Thermolite XL Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

LEKI Thermolite XL Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair description

Leki made the Thermolite XL Antishock Trekking Poles with extensions on the bottoms of the grips so it's easier to hang on and get power out of your pole plant when the trail gets steep or the weather gets wet. The Soft Antishock System absorbs impact on long downhill climbs and has an on/off switch. Turn the antishock off when you're hiking uphillshock absorbers ease strain on your shoulders and arms when you're hiking downhill, but the AS system actually steals power each time you plant the pole when you're hiking up. The Thermolite XL Antishock Trekking Poles' Carbide Flextips provide traction on rocky trails, while a mix of aluminum and titanium in the shafts cuts down on weight.

I just got back from exploring Izu-Hanto peninsula near Tokyo and these poles did a great job of keeping my balance on those rocky beaches near those steep cliffs. Also made short work of hiking the steep trails when I was carrying my 30 kilo (66 pound) backpack.
