LEKI Makalu Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair
Reliable and Functional

Ranked #611 - Trekking Poles
November 2, 2004
I took the Makalu Antishock Trekking Poles along on a trip to Dominica, and I am very glad I did. The trek to Boiling Lake winds through some extremely steep terrain. The rainforest trails are not always kept in the best condition which meant that some sections of trail were completely washed out. The Makalu Antishock took on the challenge without missing a beat. I had complete confidence in this solid set of poles. I think I actually prefer the cork grips, but other than that I strongly recommend the Makalu Antishock Trekking Poles. I am thinking of trying out the Super Makalu with the built in angle of attack but these poles will definitely be kept around as a reliable and functional set of poles.
