Product Description
With classic LEKI features, these Trail Classic AirERGO Long AS Poles offer strength and reliability out on the trails. They feature three-section, 7075 Series heat-treated aluminum shafts which adjust from 77 to 145 centimeters. The standard expander locking system allows the pole length to be adjusted quickly and easily for a secure hold. LEKI's Triple Spring System offers three different levels of cushioning for extra comfort and reduced pole plant impact while descending trails. Automatic straps adjust without the use of a buckle for added convenience and comfort. Like all LEKI trekking poles, the carbide flextips, concave and cylindrical tips, are replaceable and offer a very secure hold on any terrain and surface. The carbide flextips are replaceable while shaft sections carry a lifetime warranty against breakage.
LEKI, the world’s leading manufacturer of ski, hiking and trekking poles, had its start in Kircheim, Germany as a hobby of its founder, Karl Lenhart, an airframe mechanic and avid skier. Lenhart believed aluminum would make a superior ski pole compared to the heavy steel models available in the late 1940’s. After successfully creating lightweight poles for his friends, in 1954, the hobby became a full time business. LEKI originated the use of nylon webbing for straps and created plastic molded grips and baskets in place of metal and leather. Additionally, Lenhart developed an aluminum tempering process that produces pole shaft with incomparable strength, durability, and reliability.

About LEKI
 |
In 1984, Klaus Lenhart, Karl’s son, assumed leadership and shortly there after developed the first dual-component grip. He is also responsible for improving adjustable pole-locking technology and grip innovations such as the Trigger Click-In system and COR-TEC, a material made of real cork and latex. As the ski market continued to flourish, LEKI began manufacturing hiking poles primarily for European mountain guides. The concept of using two poles as means of relieving stress on knee joints and the lower back appealed to climbers who also saw benefits in performance and safety. LEKI poles eventually caught on with the general hiking and trekking population that recognized and appreciated the preventive health benefits as well as the climbing support and stabilizing effects. In 1990, LEKI USA was incorporated. The North American market has embraced the company’s line of alpine, Nordic, back country, mountaineering, Nordic walking, and trekking poles. Like their European counterparts who have been loyal to LEKI for nearly five decades, North American outdoor enthusiasts know and appreciate LEKI quality and value.

Independently from body weight and personal preference, you can select the most suitable spring setting, or if desired, no spring setting at all.The Classic AirERGO Long AS feature a 15° angle on the pole shaft under the grip, which corrects the wrist position when planting the pole. This neutral position absorbs shocks more effectivley, with the hand remaining closed through the entire planting motion.LEKI poles allow you to adjust the length of the poles to your height and walking surface.
