LEKI Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact Hiking Poles (1 Pair)

Conquer high-alpine terrain with a featherlight companion built for fast, confident mountain trekking. The Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact delivers pure lightweight performance without sacrificing stability, crafted for hikers who crave efficiency on demanding trails. At only 173 g per pole and a compact 100–120 cm length, these poles stay out of the way on long ascents while providing steady support on rocky stretches and exposed ridges.

Key features that set Skytera FX apart:

• Weight-conscious design: 173 g per pole with a four-segment, foldable construction for ultra-compact packing (packed size 43 cm).
• High-performance carbon: 100% carbon (HRC) shaft with a cylindrical, no-bend geometry for predictable handling and excellent vibration dampening.
• Strategic diameters: 14 mm upper section transitioning to 12 mm throughout the remaining segments, balancing stiffness and lightness.
• Verticon grip with 1K foam: Ergonomic Verticon grip combines the comfort of Aergon with featherweight Spartan characteristics, plus a grip extension for extra hand positions on steep sections.
• Ultra-light strap system: D-Loop Mesh Strap is form-stable, fast-drying, and weight-optimized—the grip and strap together weigh just 28 g, offering a secure yet comfortable hold.
• PAS grip with loop: Simple, secure grip system with a loop and without an integrated glove system, designed for swift adjustments on the move.
• CLD folding system: Core Locking Device enables smooth, effortless opening and closing of the pole, keeping setup tight and reliable on rugged terrain.
• External locking: Speed Lock Plus provides strong clamping force with easy external adjustments for precise pole length on the fly.
• Nordic Teller Compact basket: A compact Nordic plate prevents sinking in soft ground and can be swapped quickly by hand.
• Flex Tip: Robust tip ensures precise pole positioning and solid grip across a variety of surfaces.
• Additional accessories: Folding Pole Bag included for ultra-light storage and transport.

Designed for trekking and hiking enthusiasts, Skytera FX is best suited for experienced mountain walkers who value lightweight gear. It is explicitly not designed for skiing or ski mountaineering and is not protected against ski-edge impacts.
