LEKI Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

LEKI Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair description

Lock the antishock system on the Leki Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles on your hike up, and turn the shock-absorbing system on for your downhill journey.

Bottom Line: These adjustable trekking poles help maintain your power uphill and absorb shock downhill.

I bought these 2 years ago and they absolutely ROCK. I'm terrible about cleaning them as recommended and they've never let me down, literally. I highly recommend poles with anti-shock as they totally save your knees on the up and downhills.

I have had to get 2 replacement parts now... and am going to have to call Leki today to get my third in... These are great because they have a really low weight, but honestly I would rather carry something a bit heavier. If nothing else Leki has been nice to me about fixing these poles, but honestly I would rather not have to call them period. If you are using this for light hikes... they'd probably work... If you want to use them for extensive back packing, long aproaches and snow fields. Get something a bit tougher...

These poles are great for hiking up and down steep slopes (rock, snow, etc...). I did have a bit of an issue trying to adjust one of them, but once I got it set it performed great. They saved my knees hiking up to and down from the Lower Saddle of Grand Teton.
