It’s easy to get in the zone and think that the push towards the summit is your final challenge of the day, but after a few good pictures and a snack or two you’ve got a long, steep way down. Make the road a little easier with the shock-absorbing performance of the Leki Micro Vario Cor-Tec TA AS Trekking Poles. Thanks to Leki’s Dynamic Suspension System you’ve got vibration-damping performance to protect your joints and muscles on steep slopes when you need the most support from your poles. So whether you’re navigating a rocky downhill or pushing up steep single track you can really lean into your poles, especially with their light but strong aluminum construction. With an adjustable range of 8 inches and a non-slip extended grip, these poles are prepared for changing terrain and steep upper-mountain slopes. The Micro Vario folding system lets them pack down to only 15 inches, making them easy to lash onto your pack when you’re settling in for the night or need your hands free on rocky and technical terrain. The cork grip ensures soft comfort and moisture-wicking performance, and the carbide tip delivers steady grip on ever-changing trail surfaces, both wet and dry.
Exclusive AERGON grip features a hollow core construction to save weight and create an edgeless, rounded grip for comfortable gripping at all angles especially for “palming” on steeper terrain. COR-TEC grip material is 80% natural ground cork for a more durable, biomechanical design. Built in 8deg Positive Angle in LEKI grips keeps wrist in neutral position and provides more efficient pole plants.
Air-textured “no bulk” security strap maintains design dimensions of grip; efficient wicking and fast drying; adjusts and secures strap adjustment without buckles. Extended foam grip for traversing and climbing. Next generation SpeedLock Plus lever locking mechanism offers quick, reliable length adjustments even with gloved hands and is more user friendly thanks to the raised “speed dial” to crank up the holding power when needed. No tools required!
PE coated, Kevlar reinforced tension cord for long term reliability. Maximum tension between shaft sections made possible by internal (serviceable) spring in lower shaft. Machined Aluminum connectors help to center shaft sections for quick, snag free assembly. LEKI’s original Carbide Flextips provide secure hold on all terrain and surfaces for years of adventure; easily replaced in the field.
Interchangeable basket system allows a variety of different sized LEKI baskets to be easily screwed on/off for different seasons/uses thanks to offset threads that keep the baskets securely in place. Proprietary heat-treated ultralight 18mm HTS 6.5 Series Aluminum upper shaft; 16mm middle and 14mm lower shafts.
Anti Shock – LEKI’s innovative Dynamic Suspension System neutralizes pole plant shock and vibration right at the point of impact for comfortable support and shock absorption reducing peak impact by approximately 40%.
