To give our legs and footing a little assistance on the ups and downs of the trail, we grab the LEKI Makalu Cork Lite Trekking Poles. The adjustable shaft length gives us the perfect fit no matter what boot we lace into, while its aluminum construction holds strong through demanding terrain yet still feels light in hand. When the climb gets the sweat flowing, the cork grip absorbs moisture to keep our hold solid, and the foam extension boosts our security when we need to slide our hands down on especially steep sections and along traverses.
