Our ratings (out of 10)

1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score

Weight

From maker's figures 6/10

How much the pair adds to your hands and pack. 6: A bit better than average.

Leki gives 245 g per pole at 100-135 cm (Leki UK and Leki.com agree), doubled to 490 g for the pair: the 450-549 g band.

Packed size

From maker's figures 4/10

Whether they fit inside or along a rucksack. 4: A bit below average.

Leki gives 67 cm collapsed on both pages: the 65-74.9 cm band.

In short

Good for

  • Walkers who pitch a trekking-pole shelter: Switchback Travel found it held up in strong wind and rain
  • Anyone who wants a wrist-friendly angled grip with thumb and finger rests

Strengths

  • HTS 6.5 aluminium shaft in 16, 14 and 12 mm tubes; SectionHiker found it stiff and solid under load
  • Speed Lock Plus levers that SectionHiker says tighten by hand without tools
  • Angled Aergon grip (2K CorTec) with a Soft Strap 2.0
  • Wide 100-135 cm length range
  • Trekking baskets and carbide Flex Tips included; Leki sells spare parts

Weaknesses

  • 490 g a pair, in the 450-549 g band
  • Packs to 67 cm, longer than a folding pole
  • No rubber tips or snow baskets in the box (SectionHiker)
  • Switchback Travel ranks it below the Black Diamond Pursuit: less adjustment range, a mixed cork and rubber grip instead of all cork, and no spare baskets or hex tool
  • Lock, grip and durability scores are blank: only two independent reviews (SectionHiker and Switchback Travel) cover this pole
