LEKI's Sherpa Lite poles feature the Aergon Air handle and foam grip, perfect for mountaineering and trekking.
Leki says:
The Sherpa Lite is the Sherpa´s little brother. Thanks to a slightly slimmer tube diameter, it´s lighter, but leads you with just as much stability through all your mountain adventures. Specially designed for mountaineering and demanding mountain tours, this three-section pole is equipped with the new Aergon Air grip which has been improved in numerous ways and redesigned in terms of comfort and control. Special hollow core technology combines lightweight construction and large, supportive surfaces meet all the ergonomic requirements of your hand. Maximum grip and control when going downhill is provided by the rubberized grip back of the Aergon Air. The inclined angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole and contributes to safety on the mountain. This stable mountaineering pole is equipped with a flex tip, allowing the Big Mountain Binding Basket to be added directly on the mountain in case of snow. With a weight of 255 g, the Sherpa Lite is the perfect combination of lightness and stability for your next high-altitude tour!
Our Verdict
Leki's Sherpa Lite Trekking Poles are a very accomplished Mountaineering and Trekking pole, while not the lightest trekking pole available the Sherpa poles do feature LEKI's superb Aergon Air handle combined with a soft foam grip. The grip extends down the shaft as well, perfect for steep ascents.
The Sherpa Lites use LEKI's Lever Lock system to adjust the length of the poles, which is very relaible.
