The CORKLITE AS three-piece trekking poles from LEKI. They are poles with adjustable length 68-135 cm. For the production of these poles, 7075 aluminium alloy is used with a high elastic limit, which is achieved by repeated annealing of the aluminium tubes in a furnace.

PARAMETERS:

• CorTec -The handle is made of a mixture of rubber and natural cork shreds, this mixture reduces sweating, and maintains the palm at an optimal temperature. The ergonomic shape of the handle allows a perfect and comfortable grip on the stick.
• The handle is made of two materials, so that it is soft enough when in contact with the hand, while maintaining strength. The attachment of the loop to the stick is made in such a way that if the stick is suddenly caught on the ground, the hand will not be injured. The handcuff will loosen on upward pull and the hand will slip out of it.
• Speed lock - locking the stick at the required length using an external lever that squeezes the sleeve when it is attached to the stick tube. The grip can be easily fine-tuned by hand using the nut.
• The load capacity of the stick when pressed into its axis is 70kg when properly locked.
• The SLS dowel used by Leki to fix and lock the sticks at the required length. This dowel is the only dowel on the market with a load capacity of 140kg when pressed into the axis of the stick, and can hold this weight even when loosened 360°.
• Sintered carbide tip. Sintered carbide is a metal material pressed under high pressure, at high temperature, and exhibits very high hardness and wear resistance.
• Eloxal - Electrochemical painting - surface absolutely scratch resistant.
• Ultralite - smaller diameter tubes 16, 14, 12 mm - the stick is 20% lighter compared to a normal Leki stick.
• Antishock - is a device that allows the stick to be propelled when hitting a hard pad, thus saving your joints, especially elbows and shoulders.
