Description
LEKI Super Makalu Cor-Tec PA Antishock trekking poles have attained legendary status among hikers, backpackers and trekkers for their unrivaled performance in the most rugged terrain on earth. In fact, the LEKI Super Makalu is the only trekking pole ever to win Backpacker Magazine's Editors' Choice Gold Award.
Our best selling trekking pole, the LEKI Super Makalu Core Tec incorporates two of the most popular high-end features: a cork grip for comfort and sure grip and an on-off antishock mechanism that absorbs vibration before it gets to your joints and elbows.
Every LEKI pole is designed for optimum strength and reliability, and the Mountain Trek series takes this standard to new heights. Built to traverse the most challenging terrain, these poles are the most resilient in the industry, featuring LEKI's revolutionary technology and top-flight raw materials.
