Really durable for their weight just. Taking a look at all the features of the poles up here at the top you have dual density foam grips and the thing i love. About foam grips on trekking poles is in. Warmer weather if your hands get sweaty this really wicks away the sweat and in. Colder temperatures you can't feel that cold through the foam grips they're as well. Really easy to grip with gloves on so for all seasons foam grips are really. Great you have an extended grip here so. This is normally where you would kind of. Grab the grip there but all the way down here you've got different points where you can grab onto the pole so if you're. On uneven terrain or if you're going. Uphill and just need to kind of grab the pole at a different spot it's really easy to use there and also you have kind of flat top on this grip so you can.

A really comfortable strap going down to. The tips you've got black diamonds flex. Tech tips and the great thing about these tips is that if you were to get. The trekking poles stuck between two rocks or in a position that might damage. The trekking poles these tips are meant to break first before the actual trekking pole this is a replaceable piece so it's press fit onto the bottom. You can after years of use you can. Replace the tips and this also happens. To have a little tech tip on the bottom. So you can choose to purchase that other. Rubber tip separately and trade them out they don't come with the trekking poles but that is a feature that you can trade with these poles you have a low profile. Basket that's included with these poles and you can take this basket off and replace it with a winter basket black. Diamond happens to include the winter baskets with these poles so this tip is just threaded you can unscrew the. Smaller basket and put this one on and vice versa so these extra baskets add a lot of value to the poles i mentioned that this. Is a telescoping pole so the usable. Length you have with these poles is 25. Inches all the way up to 55 inches so. You have a really wide range of adjust ability there and in centimeters. 63 centimeters all the way up to a. A Hundred and forty centimeters so for. People of different heights or if you're just hiking on uneven terrain and you. Need to make minor adjustments those flick locks are really gonna allow you to make those adjustments really easily. Again perfect pole for someone who's.

Black diamond trail pro trekking poles. Are an excellent balance of price and. Performance you're getting a high-end. Feature set for year-round use at a. Really affordable price let's take a. Closer look at the features of the black. Diamond trail pro trekking pole the. Trail pro poles are three section poles. So you've got two points of adjust ability it enables these. Telescoping poles to collapse down to just 25 inches but gives them a nice. Adjustability range in fact all the way. Up to 55 inches you've got markings on. The shaft sections to let you know. Exactly what lengths you've extended them to and you've got easy to use and. Nicely constructed flick lock pro. Locking mechanisms so it is an external. Locking mechanism you don't need to worry over whether it's tight enough or loose enough open it moves it to where. You want it to be and lock it down the. Metal construction in play here on the flick lock pro mechanism increases. Strength and also increases their durability and the longevity you've got extended length evie a foam. Grips on the trail pro trekking pole so. A really nice comfortable handle next to. Skin that foam feels just really nice really comfortable you've got adjustable straps for your. Wrists the fabric on the inside of those. Straps wicks moisture which as well. Enhances comfort gives you a little bit of padding as well the extended length. To those grips comes in handy if you're. Using these in winter you've got gloved hands and it can just be you know a. Little troublesome to hold the poles while you're making adjustments you've got that much more range in which to grab the poles that length of grip range. Also comes in handy your side hilling or your traversing back and forth across a slope if you. Didn't have that extension you only have those top grips you might find yourself making micro adjustments to the length of the poles every time you turn on a switchback shouldn't be a little inconvenient can slow you down but you. Can set the trail pro poles to a height at which you can change where you're grabbing them as you've cut back and forth across that hill really convenient. Smart simple feature that certainly adds value to the poles on the other end of. The poles is where you will find black diamonds flex tech tips. That's this entire piece here at the bottom of the lowest shaft section it's. Worth mentioning that the design there is such that this whole piece is replaceable it's designed that way. Because it's also constructed in such a. Fashion that if you would find yourself with the poles in the kind of situation. That could break the poles by that i mean actually breaking or snapping the. Aluminum shaft sections instead of that. Occurring this piece can break away and while that might not sound ideal it's a. Lot better than having actually broken shaft sections especially in the. Backcountry so that is a replaceable part on the. Very end of that tip is where you'll find the carbide portion which is really. What's coming into contact with the ground on dirt on trail those kind of. Surfaces this is ideal this can be screwed off entirely and. Replaced with a semi-permanent rubber. Tip it's sold separately but. Available for purchase and replacement for that tip gives the poles versatility. And basically puts those poles in a much better position to perform on improved. Surfaces if you were using these as it all on roads or even indoors some people are taking these on museum wars and things like that or on rock. That rubber tip can actually give a. Little bit better performance on a smooth rock than the carbide tip might so again black diamond build some of. That versatility in while we're talking about that here on the tips you'll see some threading on the tip itself and. Just above it you'll see this low-profile trekking basket and most. Surfaces where you're probably not sinking very deeply into the ground anyway this basket is enough to stop the. Poles from going any further than you want them to if these poles were to go too far into the ground they're actually not giving. You that smooth supportive action that you're expecting of the poles the reason you're using them in the first place black diamond throws in with each pair. Of trail pro trekking poles these. Broader profile powder baskets if you think about using these in snow is. Gonna give way in a fashion that dirt or packed trails will not and in that case. You're gonna love the fact that these slow the progress of the poles into the ground you get that tip far enough in to give you the purchase you want and you keep moving forward so again great value built into these poles by having black. Diamond in Cleveland black diamond trail. Pro trekking poles with that durable. Aluminum construction those easy to use. Extremely durable flick lock pro external locking mechanisms the powder. Baskets thrown in you've got an excellent amount of value and year-round. Performance in this single set of bolts.

We're taking a look at the LEKI Micro Vario Carbon AS Trekking Poles.These are extremely collapsible, ultra lightweight trekking poles. They are perfect for your owns counting backpackers travelers who are looking for trekking poles that really collapse down into luggage and people who are looking for a lightweight pair of trekking poles that don't skimp on any features.These are fully featured poles. The first thing I want to point out here about these poles is they actually do have a shock absorber at the bottom so the DSS in the naming here. It stands for a dynamic suspension system lake ease. Put a lot of research and development into this feature and there's an elastomer here at the bottom close to the point of impact of the ground.
It's lightweight and it's extremely durable so it's not going to wear out over a long period of time and the basic function of this shock absorber is really to take out that vibration that you feel through the trekking pole when you're hiking for long days long miles on the trail.

Sometimes that vibration that comes through the pole can irritate your wrists your elbows your shoulders and this just dampens that vibration.

The other standout feature of these poles is that they are extremely collapsible and the way leaky achieves this is by having a very durable cord that runs through all shaft sections of these poles and they go together almost like tent poles.

They remind me of the way tent poles are designed and then all you do in order to set them up is stretch that out and it tensions the cord that's inside and makes this very durable.

There's a push button here that comes out once you've got everything. Set up you can hear that positive click and then you've got an extremely durable pole here. Really great design now.

This is a carbon fiber so each of these shaft sections is extremely lightweight. Perfect for those ones can in backpackers and this does have an adjustable range.

These will adjust from a hundred and ten centimeters all the way up to a hundred and thirty centimeters. So fully-featured trekking pole here on those days where you may be climbing or descending and you really want to make quick adjustments.

You can also really just dial in the exact length of trekking poles that you need and this is lake ease speed lock. It's an external lock it couldn't be any easier to adjust basically you just flick it open with your thumb adjust it to the proper height and then flick it closed and you've got a really secure lock. While we're up here on the grips you do have an ergonomic leaky air gan grip. There are thermo grips so you've got really comfortable foam here.

The thing I really like about foam grips is they work well in all temperatures and in all seasons. In the summer if your hands begin to perspire this really wicks away sweat and you can keep a secure grip there with your hands but also in the winter this material works well with gloves. You have an extended grip here so if you need to grip the pole at a different spot. That's really easy and then you have this egg-shaped top that's really great for palming the top of the pole, so a nice wide top there. And then obviously you've gotten adjustable straps. They're really comfortable, they're lightweight and you can adjust them to just take the strain off of your wrists.

These are the lakey women's micro vario core tech ta trekking poles they fold. Down for easy travel and are versatile. For hiking backpacking and trail running if you've used hiking poles in the past. But thought they were cumbersome or if. You're ready to upgrade to high end lighter weight poles these could be the perfect option for you let's check them. Our first i want to show how easy they. Are to set up your goal here is to put. The segments together and tighten the central cord so all sections are firmly. Connected it's important to notice two. Mechanisms this is like ease speed lock lever and it makes height adjustments to. The poles and this is the lake ya's pld. Push button locking device that holds. The sections together once they're set up you won't see this button until all. Sections are locked into place okay from. A folded position hold the grip and let. The other pieces hang be sure the speed. Lock is closed and find the pole section. That is concealed in the upper segment pull down on that section to reveal it. You can put the two lower sections. Together one by one or you can set them. Up all in one motion because they will slide together as you pull down on that concealed section you will know the. Central cord is fully tensioned when you hear the distinctive click and see the. Silver button the first few times you. Try it you may need to tug a little harder than you think you should the whole process looks like this. Now you're ready to make the height. Adjustments with the external lock just open the lever with your thumb adjust to. The preferred height and push it closed I'm five six and i use poles at about. 115 centimeters these are women's. Specific poles so the adjustment range is perfect for me laiki made it super easy to fold back. Down this silver button loosens that. Central cord so you can fold them again i find it helpful to tug these two. Sections apart to make it easier to press the button to conceal that first shaft section back up into the grip now. That cord is loosened so you can fold. The two lower sections if the length is. Still set to what it was while you were hiking just lower it to the bottom and store them in the carry bag the shaft sections. Are made of aluminum for durability the. Kortek grip at the top is ergonomic and. Has a lot more shape than most of the. Lightweight folding trekking poles I've seen on the market these are called the aragon compact grips, and they're sized. For smaller hands the egg-shaped top is. Perfect for palming when going downhill and the extended length means you do not. Have to make time-consuming adjustments to the height while going uphill the strap is adjustable and soft on your. Hands the small trekking basket is for. Summer use but can be replaced with a snow basket if the weather calls for it those are sold separately the tip is incredibly durable and gives reliable. Traction on any surface this portion of. The tip has a bit of flex that's why. It's called the carbide flex tip so if it gets jammed in between two rocks it will bend and flex first to save the. Upper shaft sections from breakage it's a rare instance but the tip is fully. Replaceable so should you need a new one. The cost of a new tip is nominal compared to a new set of poles that. Makes these a perfect option for avid hikers backpackers and trail runners there the leakey women's micro vario. Tech t a trekking poles call us with. Your questions or visit our store at.
