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.

An excellent choice for a first timer December 11, 2007

I bought these poles to take on a long hiking/backpacking trip through South America. I choose this particular model because 1) they are highly rated on backpacking/hiking gear web sites 2) they are ultralight and I didn't want a lot of weight in my pack when I'm not using them, 3) they are mid-range in terms of price. Never having used poles seriously I didn't want anything too cheap, nor did I want to pay twice the price for high-end poles that I might not like using.
This was an excellent purchase. The poles are really light (they add minimal weight to my pack when they are not in use), they appear to be very strong (I'm the wrong side of 200lbs) and the grips are very comfortable. With time and more experience I might consider more expensive poles, but I doubt it. Paying twice the price brings minimal reductions in weight - I'm not competing in anything, I don't think I'd notice the difference.
Highly recommend these as a first set of hiking poles, or if you are looking to upgrade from heavy, entry level poles.
