Speed S Ski Poles

Everyone says poles don't matter, but that's only because they have rental-shop sticks that they forgot to return and aren't worth the money they didn't pay for them. If you take pole planting a little more seriously, Leki's Speed S Ski Pole is where it's at, with a tough aluminum shaft that's shaped with an Airfoil profile to slice through the air and keep you moving at top speed. Leki also hooked the Speed S up with its legendary Trigger S grip and strap, which work together to provide a super-solid platform for poling and an easy injury-preventing release in a crash. The Speed also comes with Leki's Carbide tip and hard snow baskets, so you can tear up the groomers without your big powder baskets getting in the way.
