LEKI National Geographic Meridian Poles (Pair)

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. A rubber tip attachment is included for use indoors and on pavement (which removes easily as the carbide tip should be exposed for trail use). Unique to the National Geographic pole series, special functional graphics are printed on the upper pole shaft, including US/metric conversions, a ruler for photo scaling, and an elevation scale.

About LEKI

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.
