{"product_id":"leki-makalu-cork-lite","title":"Leki Makalu Cork Lite","description":"\u003cp\u003eConquer every trail with our flagship MAKALU CORK LITE – the ultimate companion for fearless adventurers. Engineered for those who crave peak performance in the wild, this legendary trekking pole elevates every journey with precision, comfort, and unmatched reliability. The Aergon Air cork grip is more than a grip—it’s your connection to the trail. Crafted from natural cork, it absorbs moisture, tames vibrations, and molds perfectly to your hand, giving you a grip that feels custom-built. On steep descents, the rubberized top delivers unbeatable traction, while the built-in positive angle keeps your wrists supported and your pole placement precise. Weighing under 9 ounces, the MAKALU CORK LITE is astonishingly light yet fiercely durable. Its three-section HTS 6.5 Aluminum construction and Speed Lock lever system provide infinite adjustment from 110–135 cm, so you can adapt instantly to any terrain. It comes with two interchangeable basket sets—a standard trekking basket for regular trail use and a larger tour basket designed for snowy conditions and true four season use. The LEKI MAKALU CORK LITE is your ticket to fearless, comfortable, and exhilarating outdoor adventures. It’s not just a trekking pole—it’s your passport to exploration. For explorers seeking a more compact option, a shorter version offers a 90–120 cm range without compromising performance. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAergon Air Cork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hollow core design combines lightweight construction, large, supportive surfaces and built-in positive angles for unsurpassable ergonomic support.
