Leki Ultralite TI Ergometric SAS Poles (Pair) (Spring 07)

Cover more distance with less effort with these lighter and more compact Ultralite Ti Ergometric SAS Poles from Leki. They feature an updated 10-degree positive angle Ergometric Textured Compact Thermal Grip that compresses for easier storage in small spaces. By moving the positive angle design from the pole shaft to the internal structure of the Ergometric Grip, the middle shaft can be compressed an additional seven centimeters into the upper shaft. The Ultralite Ti Ergonomic SAS features Leki's reliable and highly popular Soft Antishock System (SAS). The SAS System spring-elastomer design helps minimize vibration and stress on your joints and ligaments. A simple press and twist of the SAS system deactivates the spring to enhance stability on ascents, or you can activate the spring-elastomer for full cushioning on the gravity-aided trail descents. At the tip where poles tend to take a beating are durable Carbide Flextips that flex up to 30 degrees without adding structural stress to the pole shafts. The Ultralite Ti Ergometric SAS Poles also feature a special Automatic System Strap with a wicking liner sewn into the mesh to enhance comfort. With a lifetime warranty against shaft breakage, Leki is the first pole manufacturer to be tested and approved by TUV, the prestigious Technical Inspection Service of Europe.

Superb pair of poles
This is my first pair of Leki poles. I have owned a few pairs of trekking poles from various other brands before, but none of this level of quality. These poles are far tougher, easier to maintain and lighter. I also like the widespread availability of spare parts and all the bits that you can replace yourself if damaged. Even though this ultralight version does not extend as much as the normal versions, I am 6' and have absolutely no problems with the length. The manual states that they are good for people up to 6' 4"
