The Leki Super Makalu Cor-Tec Positive Angle Antishock Trekking Poles take an enlightened approach to wandering. Developed with Leki's vast experience, a set of Super Makalu poles are a lightweight companion suited for high-speed treks at elevation. A Positive Angle grip works like a ski-racing pole to ensure positive pole-plants on tricky terrain. The Makalu Cor-Tec's combination of cork hand grips and a spring loaded shock-absorbing system keeps the road less traveled under your feet and away from your hands. Rugged ground is easily tamed by the Carbide Flextips and high-strength aluminum construction. Quick adjustments in length match trekker to terrain for four-wheel drive stability over mountain passes.

Bottom Line: From Kalamazoo to Katmandhu you can't go wrong with the Leki Super Makalu Trekking Poles.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Reliable poles , help me to relief the load a lot and hike fast grips are comfortable, I hiked in a mountain for a day, the tips were hitting the rocks all the time, it kept the body balanced and gave solid support, and at the end of the day, the tips didn't even wear off a little bit! The anti shock system can absorb a lot of shocks, and you can disable them while not needed, excellent design, great performance!

These treking poles are awesome.
Used them on a 6.5 mile trek and a 2500 ft elevation gain over some fairly rough terrain and it sure made things alot easier. The Anti-Shock system worked very well with just enough cushion. They are easy to adjust and lock securely into place.

Would these poles (assuming there are snow baskets I can add on) be appropriate for snowshoeing as well?

These poles are all that they are advertised to be. Having 2 bad knees, these poles mean the difference between an enjoyable trek, or an uncomfortable journey

These poles are great. I have used poles for years without the positive angle and my wrists would sometimes hurt after a long day on the trail. Not with these poles. The positive angle on the grip allows for a much more natural wrist position particularly when going down hill. The anti-shock can be turned off if you want as well. I always leave it on but it is nice to have the option. There is a bit of a learning curve to hiking with poles, but once you get the hang of it you'll always want them with you.
