Gear Review
Poor durability, go Black Diamond
By Joshua Keith
Ranked #367 - Trekking Poles
January 27, 2009
LEKI is the big name in poles, but honestly, I was disappointed. The cork grips were nice, but the locking mechanisms are not user friendly in the winter and broke after a short period of time. Look at the Black Diamonds... better locking system which is glove friendly and doesn't break/collapse without warning.
