Wanderfreund Antishock Trekking Pole

Sometimes your hiking companions can't make it, but you'll never be on your own when you have the Leki Wanderfreund Antishock Trekking Pole in your hands. Everything about the Wanderfreund, which is German for hiking friend, is designed to improve your balance and take stress off your joints, from the three-section collapsible aluminum shaft to the impact-absorbing Soft Antishock Lite system that's tucked away at the bottom of the pole.

In the same region, you'll also find a rubber trekking basket with a flex tip to help you stay balanced on rough and rocky terrain. Your hand will appreciate the ergonomic AergoMed rubber grip at the top of the pole. The Wanderfreund collapses quickly down for easy packing and locks together with a Super Lock system that's designed to hold over 300 pounds, so it'll support your weight and then some.
