LEKI

Sherpa Lite Xtg

Lighter than the regular Sherpa trekking poles, the Leki Sherpa Lite features a slightly slimmer tube diameter for extra weight savings. The Aluminum HTS 6.5 shafts are light but strong with a 3-piece telescoping design that lets us adjust our length and lock down our preferred fit with the easy Speed Lock 2 Plus clamps. The new Aergon Air grip has improved comfort and control and pairs with the adjustable and lockable security straps for ergonomic hand and wrist positions that make us rely on our major muscle groups (and not weak wrist ligaments) to support us on slick and sketchy terrain. The Sherpa Lite comes with trekking baskets, but it's easy to swap them out with Leki's Big Mountain Binding Basket (sold separately) when hiking and backpacking season shifts to ski touring and mountaineering season.
