Leki Makalu Lite Cor-Tec Trekking Poles
The Makalu Lite Cor-Tec is a one-quiver trekking pole, from grueling days on the PCT to ticking off your next 14'er to casual weekend hikes with the pup. The Makalu provides everything you need in a pole - lightweight construction, stability that your knees will thank you for, and extreme comfort to make the miles melt away.
This Makalu is made from high-tensile strength aluminum to tackle any terrain you encounter while remaining lightweight. The Aergon Cor-Tec grips feature comfy and sweat-wicking cork, along with an an edgeless design for optimum comfort, especially when palming down on the top of the handle. The innovative next generation SpeedLock Plus locking system offers fast and easy adjustment of the pole length even while wearing gloves, smaller and lighter than previous incarnations.
If you're looking for one pole to do it all, year after year, the Makalu Lite Cor-Tec is waiting for the challenge.
