Leki says:
Head to the high mountains with the Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact - the perfect pole for mountain hiking and for those who enjoy hiking in a lightweight style. The more compact version, with a length of 100-120 cm, is a true lightweight at only 173 g. With a shaft diameter of 14 and 12 mm, this pole strikes the right balance between lightness and stability. It is equipped with the newly designed and extremely sleek Verticon foam grip. The special feature: the form-stable, ultra-light, and fast-drying D-Loop Mesh Strap, already used in trail running. The grip, including the strap, weighs only 28 g and impresses with its perfect ergonomic shape, as well as a grip extension for additional hand positioning options.
Note on use: The product is weight-optimised and designed for experienced mountain walking. It requires particularly skilful and careful use. The product is explicitly not designed for use in skiing or ski mountaineering and is not protected against impact from the ski edge.
Do not use the pole or poles as a walking aid in accordance with DIN EN 1985. Poles intended exclusively for trekking, cross-trail, trail running and Nordic walking may not be used for skiing.
