| The Leki Makalu Antishock AS Trekking Poles make putting miles
between your Dodge and the mountaintop easy. Having a set of trekking
poles is like adding four-wheel drive to your body. Leki's Easy Lock
System lets you adjust the poles' length to match terrain and quickly
change length when needed. The Soft Antishock System uses a spring and
elastomer combination to tame rough ground and to keep the sting away
from your hands. Inside the Makalu AS is a series of internal steel
springs and elastomers to minimize vibration, resulting in far less
stress on your hands, elbows, shoulder joints and ligaments than rigid
trekking poles or walking sticks. Press and twist each pole to activate
or deactivate the system to go spring-free on ascents and then opt for
full cushioning on the gravity-aided trail descents.Three-section
telescoping pole collapses from 56 to 28 inches for easy packing. Easy
Lock adjustment system provides optimum lock with less tightening
torque. Ergo Soft foam grips and wrist straps are contoured to fit hands
comfortably. Dome disc baskets provide extra support on soft terrain;
can be easily removed and replaced thanks to threaded design. Transport
clips lock the poles together in a neat easy-to-pack bundle. Mini-carabiner
clips poles to the outside of your pack.In addition, a flexible tip
won't bend or break when stuck between a rock and a hard place. Bottom Line: From Noatak to Nepal your trek begins with the Leki Makalu Antishock AS poles.
