Leki Micro Vario Carbon Trekking/Running Poles

The Micro Vario Carbon is kind of a show off. This trekking and running pole has more bells and whistles than a fire station, so let's get to work.

Whether you're using these poles to bag alpine summits, ski some laps in the backcountry, or crunch the dirt for a long trail run, they'll provide Leki's renowned stability and support to the endeavor, not to mention the super-light and stiff characteristics of carbon construction. The SpeedLock 2 system provides lightning fast adjustment of pole length, while an External Locking Device (ELD) allows an easy release of pole tension for quick knockdown and packing away. Fully collapsed, the Micro Vario Carbon measures in at 15 inches, a perfect length to toss in any day pack or trail running vest. The extreme packability also shines when packing for a trip overseas, when luggage space is so precious.

Premium comfort is the name of the game when gripping the poles, thanks to the edgeless and ultralight Aergon Thermo grip. The rounded top of the grip provides serious comfort and security, especially when palming directly on top of the handle on steep or angled terrain. The Thermo form grip further extends down the shaft, a thoughtful design when climbing the steeps or traversing tricky sections of the trail. Finally, Leki's Skin Strap is an ultra-lightweight, highly breathable, silky strap offering max comfort with minimum weight.
