LEKI Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

LEKI Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair description

Lock the antishock system on the Leki Thermolite Antishock Trekking Poles on your hike up, and turn the shock-absorbing system on for your downhill journey. The antishock system eases strain on your arms and shoulders as you hike down, but this system will rob power from you on the uphill, which is why it's key to use the Thermolite Trekking Poles' antishock on/off switches. Leki made these trekking poles with slight bends in the upper shaft sections so your wrists maintain neutral, relaxed positions as you hike. Adjust the Thermolite Antishock Poles to the right height for uphill and downhill sections of trail. A mix of aluminum and titanium on the shafts of these poles reduces weight.

These poles are great for hiking up and down steep slopes (rock, snow, etc...). I did have a bit of an issue trying to adjust one of them, but once I got it set it performed great. They saved my knees hiking up to and down from the Lower Saddle of Grand Teton.

I bought these 2 years ago and they absolutely ROCK. I'm terrible about cleaning them as recommended and they've never let me down, literally. I highly recommend poles with anti-shock as they totally save your knees on the up and downhills.
