The updated Leki Makalu Cork Lite is the newest version of this legendary trekking pole. Designed for hikers looking for lightweight performance, all-day comfort, and rock-solid reliability, this pole is your ultimate trail companion. The main feature of the Makalu Cork Lite is the innovative Aergon Air grip, crafted with natural cork. This high-quality material not only absorbs moisture to keep your hands dry but also reduces vibration for a smoother feel on tough terrain. The grip is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in your hands, with a rubberised back for extra hold when heading downhill. It also features a built-in angled design to support your wrist and help guide each step with precision. Weighing just 254g per pole, this ultra-lightweight design won't weigh you down, no matter how long your trek. Built from durable HTS 6.5 aluminum, it offers reliable strength you can count on for years to come. The Speed Lock Plus system makes adjusting the height (from 110 to 135 cm) quick and easy, even with gloves on. Whether you're tackling steep climbs, muddy trails, or scenic ridgelines, the Makalu Cork Lite is designed to keep you moving with confidence, comfort, and control.
