Leki says:
With the Skysolo, you'll stay stable on challenging mountain tours! This three-piece pole is equipped with the extremely slim Verticon foam grip. What makes it special is the dimensionally stable, ultra-light and quick-drying D-Loop Mesh Strap, which is already used in trail running. The grip weighs only 28 g including the strap and impresses with its absolute lightness, perfect ergonomic shape and a grip extension for additional grip options. After many metres of altitude gain, the Verticon offers descent control and comfort with its large grip surface.
