Elevate Your Trekking Experience with the LEKI Makalu Cork Lite

Discover the perfect balance of comfort, durability, and lightweight performance with the LEKI Makalu Cork Lite trekking poles. Designed for serious hikers and outdoor adventurers, this upgraded version of the legendary Makalu line delivers premium features that make every step more secure and enjoyable. Whether you're tackling steep ascents, technical descents, or long-distance treks, these poles are built to handle the toughest trails while keeping you comfortable.

Premium Cork Grip for Maximum Comfort

At the heart of the Makalu Cork Lite is the Aergon Air Cork grip, crafted with genuine natural cork for an ultra-comfortable, moisture-wicking feel. Cork naturally absorbs sweat and reduces vibrations, ensuring a secure hold in both dry and wet conditions. The ergonomic grip shape conforms to your palm for superior comfort, while the rubberized back provides extra traction on steep descents. With its built-in positive angle, the grip supports your wrist in a natural position for better pole placement and reduced fatigue.

Lightweight Yet Durable Construction

Crafted from HTS 6.5 aluminum, the Makalu Cork Lite offers outstanding strength without unnecessary weight. Weighing just 254 g (9 oz) per pole, it’s a reliable ultralight companion for extended treks. The slimmer tube diameter keeps the pole light and agile, while still offering the durability you expect from LEKI.

Fast and Secure Adjustability

With the Speed Lock Plus (SL+) system, adjusting the length of your poles is quick, secure, and glove-friendly. The three-section collapsible design adjusts from 110 to 135 cm and packs down to a compact 67 cm, making it easy to store in a backpack when not in use.

Trail-Ready Performance Features

• Lock Security Strap Skin 4.0: Soft, breathable, and adjustable for all-day comfort.
• Trekking 2.0 Basket: Prevents sinking on soft terrain and protects the lower shaft, with easy tool-free exchange.
• Universal Carbide Flextip: Provides reliable traction and stability on a wide range of surfaces.
