LEKI Ultratrail FX.One Trekking Poles

The hiking poles are terrific, well made and light as a feather. If ONLY the instructions included how to lock the 3 sections in place! Nowhere, absolutely nowhere in the instructions are directions how to keep the sections from separating after you insert the 3 pieces into each other. This almost sounds ridiculous and you have to applaud any of the folks who assemble the poles WITHOUT finding a video on YouTube. The instructions include a warning of not poking yourself in the eye, but not how to lock the sections together. One would think it might be intuitive or obvious, nope! Maybe there is a locking mechanism for each section, nope. Perhaps it's a twist and lock for the sections, wrong again. It turns out after inserting the sections together, and holding the pole sideways, so the sections don't separate, there is an unmarked telescoping section of the base, completely not obvious, that you pull this telescoping section as far as it can go, while holding the base with the other hand. When it seems it won't extend any further, and REALLY pulling, a spring loaded metal button pops up to prevent the pole from separating, by keeping the pole rigid. When it's time to collapse the pole, once again using two hands and your thumb, extend the base of the pole just a little further to take the pressure off the button, press the button down, and slide the section back into the base, and the pole separates for storage. It's easy once you do it, but a complete mystery unless someone showed you, or you did not inadvertently damage the pole trying to riddle this out on your own. The YouTube video was excellent, and the person who produced it had found many customers who had returned the poles because they were unable to figure out how to lock the sections in place. For the cost of the poles, it certainly makes sense not wanting to damage them trying to figure things out, and I readily admit I was stumped too. The poles are great, but the instructions did not offer the basic information of how to lock the sections together. And remember, don't poke yourself in the eye! All said and done it was a good laugh.

If you are an avid hiker or trail runner, these super lightweight trekking poles are a game changer. Weighing only 5.8 ounces, they set up quickly and are adjustable depending on your height or whether you are going up- or downhill. I highly recommend them!

Muy bueno liviano ideal para Trail running

My first pair of leki poles I've owned and I really love them. Super light! Took a couple YouTube videos to learn how to assemble and fold but once I figured it was super easy.

1st set of trail running poles and I'm absolutely happy that I purchased these. 1st thing I'd say is yes they're very expensive, but they are worth that price without question Before making the decision to purchase definitely do some research and determine if these would even be worth it for your particular needs, for example a set of 50 costco poles would be more than enough for most average hikers/backpackers. These are not that but they have done wonders for me from summer trail running to my more recent runs in cold even snow covered terrain I've not once doubted their reliability. Also the clip system is more useful than I initially thought they'd be however they can 100% still be used with the included hand straps.

To my knowledge these are the lightest trekking poles available to consumers. They collapse and are easy to stow away, especially if you have a quiver. I recently ran the UTMB tarawera 50k and these made running through the mud a breeze while I passed people clamoring on the ground trying to get a foothold. I wasnt planning on carrying them for the race, but im glad I did.

This was my first pair of trekking poles. I purchased them for a 30hr ultra trail run that I probably shouldn’t have been doing since I had injured my foot a month earlier. But, then again, I signed up for an ultra and that should tell you something about my decision making. The gloves/shark system: Absolutely love it. Genius. I didn’t have to grip the poles and waste energy. I could still swat bugs and pick them out of my eye without feeling like I needed to do something with the pole. It stayed attached if I wanted it to. It was super easy to figure out. The push button release had just enough resistance so that you didn’t accidentally release them. Make sure you measure and get the correct size poles. These are NOT adjustable. They fold and extend fully with a snap of a button that pops out when engaged - like a tailgate or beach tent if you’re familiar with that. I read some posts on a running group that said they sent two sets back before they realized they just weren’t pulling them to full extension. I would have done the same thing had I not read that. Durability. So far so good. They still look new except the tip, but that’s still in great shape after a rocky, muddy, clay, and sandy course. Lightweight. Yes yes yes. I stowed them in my hydration vest and literally forgot they were there.

great, light weight and compact, works well. they double as ski poles. been eyeing them for a long time and managed to snag my size for a good price seems well made and easy to repair. but, I don't know how to change the feet 🤔

Primo Leki, incredibilmente comode ed efficaci, ultraleggero. Utilizzate per una Trail da 37km , l'aggancio rapido è una garanzia e facilità il cambio salita/discesa. Una garanzia

Sind wirklich stabil, extrem geiles Handling. Ruck zuck zerlegt und auch wieder auf volle Länge verriegelt. Und das alles im Laufen. Vom Gewicht ganz zu schweigen, müsste mehrmals schauen ob sie noch im Laufgürtel steckten.

Expensive but very good quality.

Los mejores bastones para trail,llevo mas de 1 año con ellos y van fantásticamente bien
