A lightweight, versatile option for ultrarunners or ounce-counting thru-hikers, LEKI Micro Trail Vario adjustable length poles provide collapsibility and stability at a weight of just 13.47 ounces per pair. Streamlined cork component grips employ LEKI’s Trigger Shark Active straps to deliver a connection point between your hands and the poles. This provides ergonomic performance, enhances agility, and effectively transfers power while in use. A security release system enables you to quickly connect and disconnect from the poles to change your grip position. If you prefer, you can remove the straps entirely and use the poles without them. An extended section of grip that extends down the pole shafts eliminates the need to shorten the length of the poles every time you encounter a steep slope or side hill traverse. Employing a concealed inner cord that runs through all of the pole’s carbon fiber shaft sections, the “foldable” design allows the poles to collapse down to just 14.96”. After each shaft section is aligned, the internal tension locks each section securely in place. This innovative design saves weight while still delivering surprising strength. After each shaft section is aligned, the external lever flips down to tension the pole and lock each section securely in place. This innovative design also saves weight while still delivering surprising strength and a short range of adjustability of 45.3″-51″.
