Lightweight poles for day hikes and extended treks
On the most demanding day hikes or multi-day tours, a set of poles can help you go faster, further and longer. But to truly maximise performance, you need a pair of carbon fibre poles, which offer superior stiffness and rigidity compared to traditional aluminium alloy poles, at a lower overall weight. Leki’s Black Series FX Carbon is a carbon-fibre, Z-folding trekking pole with generous length adjustment from 100 to 130cm, equipped with Leki’s Aergon Air genuine cork grip. The ergonomic handle is ideal for mountain hiking and trekking, with a weight-saving, large-profile head for comfort and a contoured, easily adjustable fabric strap. An extended lower foam section enables you to choke down on steeper ascents. The pole is also equipped with Vario on-the-move adjustment and a high-tech integrated core locking device for reliable support and intuitive folding. For stability and reliability over mixed terrain, these poles are the perfect choice
