Leki Black Series FX Carbon Trekking Poles

A premium folding pole for travelers and walkers who carry their poles as often as they use them. Four carbon sections fold to 40 cm and pack into the supplied storage bag, and the Speed Lock 2+ adjuster sets the length between 110 and 130 cm. A pair is listed at 456 g. Expect a short learning curve: the Z-fold takes a little practice before it becomes second nature. Reviewers also note the poles come without snow baskets, so winter walkers should budget for a pair. Pick these over the Makalu when compact packing and a refined finish matter more than price.
