Leki Pole Review

I had a chance to try out some Leki poles over the weekend and I was surprised to find that I actually liked them. Don’t get me wrong, I had nothing against Leki, I just didn’t think I would like walking with a walking pole. To be honest I had always thought It was kinda lame.

So Why did I end up liking the Leki Poles?

• I really liked the extra support they gave me while hiking through some riverbeds. They made hiking over tricky areas a little easier to navigate. They are also really good for keeping your balance when navigating over rough terrain.
• Hiking Poles can reduce the stress on your knee joints when doing a steep descent.
• The Leki poles are super sturdy and the quality is superb.
• Very Lightweight. When not in use I strapped them to the back of my Mountainsmith pack. The added weight was of no real significance, in fact, they are so light that I forgot they were strapped to the bag.
• They are really handy to have around in case you get into trouble. They can be used to make a quick tarp tent shelter.
