Leki says:
The three-section aluminium pole is your perfect companion for mountain tours. The Skytera Lite is equipped with the 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. Thanks to the simple adjustment system, the pole can be quickly adjusted in length between 100 and 135 cm.
