LEKI Thermolite AERGON Trekking Poles

Product Highlights

New for 2009! Ideal for thru-hikers and lightweight backpacking devotees, LEKI Thermolite AERGON poles are LEKI's lightest men’s non-carbon trekking poles, weighing in at just 15.4 ounces per pair!

Incorporating a 15-degree positive angle that preserves a natural position for your wrists, the dynamic, lightweight AERGON grips found on the Thermolite AERGON poles have an ovoid shape that can be palmed or held traditionally. A rubberized, dimpled top offers a textured grip point and easy-adjust straps reduce stress on your wrists and provide additional security and comfort.

LEKI's Super Lock System (SLS) uses wide thread patterns and steep-angled lock mechanisms to provide quicker and easier adjustments and is up to 60 times more secure than other locking systems. The SLS locking system is far less prone to loosening while in use, giving you peace of mind even in challenging situations.

Thermolite AERGON poles employ carbide flex tips that deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections. This reduces the risk of pole breakage if the pole should get caught between rocks or tree roots on the trail. Standard trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable with a simple screw on/off design that stays secure. Optional snowflake and deep powder baskets (sold separately) allow the poles to be converted for winter use.

LEKI Thermolite AERGON poles are sold in pairs.
