    This product is for…

    Trail runners and long-distance hikers who want the lightest functional poles available without sacrificing durability. Also suits climbers who need poles that pack down small enough to stow on a climbing rack or in a small pack.

    Worth noting…

    One host (5'9") confirms 120cm works well for that height. Noted as a viable alternative for those who dislike Leki's strap/glove system.
