Light Weight, Colorful Nordic walking poles Mar 09, 2011
By H. Chen
"occasional shopper"
I had bought another pair of Nordic walking poles for my dad (from REI) and knew the length I want for my own. When I saw the Leki Speed Vario price lowered for the 110cm, I bought it right away. I love it. The handle is thin and comfortable to grip, especially with the Leki locking system so you can snap on and off while still wearing a glove. The lever was a little difficult to fully unlock sometimes, but that's not a problem.
The most important benefit of using these poles is that I don't have lower back pain anymore after walking. Great upper body workout while walking and good balance. Keep my posture upright. Did I mention it helps with my lower back?? Highly recommend.
top of the line nordic walking poles-- does not disappoint Sep 18, 2010
By sfsusan I was turned on to nordic walking by a European friend three years ago & own a set of Leki speed varios. Have enjoyed them in the city & on trails for fun & weight loss --25 pounds. Am a volunteer nordic walking evangelist & have enjoyed turning people on to the sport. Have a collection of poles for groups & urge them to try different kinds & models including my own 110 varios. These are the poles they like the best because they are so light & you can swing your arms easily & know you have gotten a great fullbody low impact workout. When they were on sale on Amazon in August 2010 I bought two pair of 110 varios. Of course I'm still using my own (estimate 1,800 miles )but sold the two discounted new sets to fellow enthusiasts who used to borrow mine. I'd say it's a win win.

Unreliable Locking Makes These Poles Dangerous Sep 21, 2009
By goliath100

I have been Nordic walking (really hiking up and down mountains) for nearly 4 years. I have had these poles for about 2 years.
I used to love these poles. They are carbon and don't vibrate like aluminum poles. And they are light.
However I continually have issues with the locking mechanism not locking. I have sent the poles back once. Leki has a lifetime guarantee. They sent out repaired poles.
However... having the locking mechanism fail (will not lock at all) is terrible. Once I had to use the poles at their shortest size since I couldn't lock them. Another time I had to abandon the trip.
I have Leki traveler poles I use when traveling by air and have had no problems with them.
I have given up on these an have just ordered some SWIX fixed length carbon poles.
