Product Information

Full details

The Leki Skytera Carbon Lite Walking Poles are ideal for fast-moving hikers and mountaineers seeking an exceptionally lightweight yet stable support system. Their three-section telescopic design, combining carbon and aluminum, offers adjustable length and compact storage, while the Verticon foam grip ensures comfort on long ascents and descents. A potential consideration is the specific PAS grip system which may require adjustment for users accustomed to integrated gloves.

FAQs

What is the weight of the Leki Skytera Carbon Lite poles?

The poles are very lightweight, weighing approximately 196 grams per pole.

What is the adjustment range for the poles?

The poles offer a continuously adjustable length from 100 cm to 135 cm.

Can I change the baskets on these poles?

Yes, the poles come with Trekking Basket 2.0 and an interchangeable Tour Basket, and other compatible Leki baskets can be used.

Are these poles suitable for winter hiking?

While the interchangeable Tour Basket can help on varied terrain, these poles are primarily designed for fast-moving hiking and mountain use in non-snowy conditions. For deep snow, specialized snow baskets are recommended.

How do I clean the poles?

Wipe the shafts with a damp cloth after use. Ensure the Speed Lock 2 Plus system is clean and free of debris for proper function.

What is the benefit of the grip extension?

The grip extension, made of 1K foam, allows for quick repositioning of your hands on steep terrain without needing to adjust the pole length, providing better stability and comfort.

What is the strap system?

The poles feature a D-Loop Mesh Strap that is ultra-light, fast-drying, and continuously adjustable for a personalized fit.

Troubleshooting

Poles won't stay at adjusted length

Ensure the Speed Lock 2 Plus levers are fully closed and tightened. Check for any debris obstructing the clamping mechanism and clean if necessary.

Grip feels uncomfortable

Adjust the D-Loop Mesh Strap for a more secure but not overly tight fit. Experiment with using the grip extension for different hand positions.

Tip slips on smooth surfaces

Ensure the Flex Tip (Short) is clean and free of mud or debris. For very smooth surfaces, consider if a different tip attachment would be more suitable, though the Flex Tip is designed for optimal grip.

Pole sections are difficult to extend/retract

Check that the locking mechanism is fully released. Ensure the shaft sections are clean and free from dirt or grit that might cause sticking.
