Leki says:
The Skysolo is designed for the highest mountains in the world. Leading mountaineers collaborated on the development and testing of the new Sky series. With a shaft diameter of 16 and 14 mm, it offers both stability and lightness for expeditions. This fixed-length pole is equipped with the newly designed and extremely slim Verticon foam grip. A key feature is the dimensionally stable, ultralight, and quick-drying D-Loop mesh strap, already used in trail running. The grip, including the strap, weighs only 28 g and, in addition to its absolute lightness and perfect ergonomic shape, also features a grip extension for additional grip options. After many meters of elevation gain, the Verticon's large grip surface provides control and comfort on the descent.
