Leki says:
The perfect pole for mountain hiking and for those who love to hike in a lightweight style. The high-quality carbon shaft provides the optimal blend of lightness and stability. It features the newly designed, sleek Verticon foam grip. The special feature: the form-stable, ultra-light, and fast-drying D-Loop Mesh Strap, which is already used in trail running. The grip, including the strap, weighs only 28 g and impresses not only with its absolute lightness but also with its perfect ergonomic shape and a grip extension for additional hand positioning options. After many elevation gains, the Verticon offers descent control and comfort with its large grip surface. Thanks to the innovative CLD adjustment system, it can be quickly adjusted in length between 110 and 130 cm.
Note on use: The product is weight-optimised and designed for experienced mountain walking. It requires particularly skilful and careful use. The product is explicitly not designed for use in skiing or ski mountaineering and is not protected against impact from the ski edge.
Do not use the pole or poles as a walking aid in accordance with DIN EN 1985. Poles intended exclusively for trekking, cross-trail, trail running and Nordic walking may not be used for skiing.
