LEKI Super Makalu COR-TEC Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

Perhaps you don't relish the idea of messing with an on/off switch for the shock-absorbing features on your trekking poles. Welcome to Leki's Super Makalu COR-TEC PA Antishock Trekking Poles. Leki made this pair of poles with spring pitches that are limited to 10mm, so the poles absorb shock on the way down without zapping your strength on the uphill hike. The COR-TEC handles feel cool when you're sweating but won't remind you of icicles when it's chilly outside, and these handles have slight bends that relieve stress on your wrist joints.

Bottom Line: Antishock trekking poles without complicated buttons and switches? How shocking.

Do these poles collapse to a shorter length for traveling?

Yes, they'll telescope right down to about 26-28". I'm not sure of the exact length, but if you look at the picture where the black meets gold, that's as small as they'll collapse to.

Locking Mechanism Slips

By:
January 13, 2010

I would probably rate this a little lower, but in the end I really like these poles. They're lightweight, cool looking, the grips are great (don't get funky or slippery) and the shocks are nice. My only real complaint with these poles is the locking mechanism. One more than one occasion it slipped and the pole collapsed. Really annoying when you actually really need it and it gives way. I've never used any other poles to compare them to, but I will probably check out Black Diamonds for my next set.
