LEKI Travel Super Micro Pole

This cane-style pole from LEKI packs down to a mere 18 inches for easy packing in luggage, brief case, or a carry bag. When extended, this pole has enough adjustment range to provide support for walkers up to 6-feet tall. Perfect for city strolling, museum tours, or everyday support and stability, this three-section pole features a 7075 series heat-treated aluminum shaft that adjusts from 46 to 89 centimeters. Shaft sections carry a lifetime warranty against breakage while LEKI's Super Lock System allows the pole length to be adjusted with the least amount of torque (hand strength). Like all LEKI trekking poles, the carbide flextips are replaceable and offer a very secure hold on any terrain and surface. The pole includes rubber tip attachment for use indoors and on pavement (which removes easily as the carbide tip should be exposed for trail use).

About LEKI

LEKI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles, had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940’s. After successfully creating lightweight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business. LEKI originated the use of nylon webbing for straps and created plastic molded grips and baskets in place of metal and leather. Additionally, Lenhart developed an aluminum tempering process that produces pole shaft with incomparable strength, durability, and reliability.

In 1984, Klaus Lenhart, Karl’s son, assumed leadership and shortly there after developed the first dual-component grip. He is also responsible for improving adjustable pole-locking technology and grip innovations such as the Trigger Click-In system and COR-TEC, a material made of real cork and latex. As the ski market continued to flourish, LEKI began manufacturing hiking poles primarily for European mountain guides. The concept of using two poles as means of relieving stress on knee joints and the lower back appealed to climbers who also saw benefits in performance and safety. LEKI poles eventually caught on with the general hiking and trekking population that recognized and appreciated the preventive health benefits as well as the climbing support and stabilizing effects. In 1990, LEKI USA was incorporated. The North American market has embraced the company’s line of alpine, Nordic, back country, mountaineering, Nordic walking, and trekking poles. Like their European counterparts who have been loyal to LEKI for nearly five decades, North American outdoor enthusiasts know and appreciate LEKI quality and value.
