Leki Carbonlite AERGON XL Anitshock Trekking Poles One Size

New for 2011! Ideal for thru-hikers and lightweight backpacking devotees, LEKI Carbonlite AERGON XL Antishock trekking poles offer a premium shock-absorption feature and dynamic grips while still weighing in at only 14.2 ounces per pair! The Carbonlite AERGON XL Antishock trekking poles feature LEKI's Soft Antishock System Lite (SASL) that reduces stress on the joints, muscles and ligaments. The combination of internal steel spring and elastomer creates a smooth and unique suspension system that is quieter and reduces shock more effectively than other designs. LEKI places the SASL system closer to the point of impact by embedding it inside the shaft of the lower pole section, keeping the spring cleaner and requiring less maintenance. Incorporating a 15-degree positive angle that preserves a natural position for your wrists, the dynamic, lightweight AERGON grips found on the Carbonlite AERGON XL Antishock poles have an ovoid shape that can be palmed or held traditionally. A rubberized, dimpled top offers a textured grip point and easy-adjust straps reduce stress on your wrists and provide additional security and comfort. The extended length of the Carbonlite AERGON XL Antishock poles' grips allows you to grasp lower on the shaft, eliminating the need to shorten the length of the poles every time you encounter a steep slope or side hill traverse. LEKI's Super Lock System (SLS) uses wide thread patterns and steep-angled lock mechanisms to provide quicker and easier adjustments and is up to 60 times more secure than other locking systems. The SLS locking system is far less prone to loosening while in use, giving you peace of mind even in challenging situations. Carbonlite AERGON XL Antishock poles employ carbide flex tips that deflect up to 30 degrees without damaging the lower pole sections. This reduces the risk of pole breakage if the pole should get caught between rocks or tree roots on the trail. Standard trekking baskets are included and are interchangeable
