Description

  The Leki Makalu Cork Lite will help make your next outdoor adventure your best yet. The Makalu Cork Lite comes with the newly developed Aergon Air grip, made with genuine cork. Cork absorbs moisture from sweaty or wet hands, decreases vibration, and best conforms to the shape of your palms. Special hollow core technology combines lightweight construction with a supportive grip for unparalleled ergonomic comfort for your hands. The back of the Aergon Air grip is rubberized providing maximum grip when going downhill.

  The Makalu Cork Lite provides the ultimate tool for comfortable and secure outings. The built-in positive angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole. With its slim tube diameter, the Makalu Cork Lite has a weight of only 254 g (9 oz) per pole and is infinitely adjustable from 110 to 130 cm using the durable and time-tested Speed Lock Plus lever system. This collapsible and durable 3-section pole is crafted from HTS 6.5 aluminum, providing exceptional durability and dependability no matter where your next adventure takes you.

  Sold as a pair.

Lightweight Warmth for Backcountry Hunts: Argali Alpine Sleep System Review
  Finding the right sleep system for your adventures is a bit like finding your security blanket. The wrong one ensures you dont have a good time.

  When we put together a pool of reviewers, we want people who adventure big but also live normal lives—because that’s our true audience (very few readers are running 100-mile races or summiting Everest).

Softshell Where You Want It, Hardshell Where You Need It: Raide Research TourTech Ski Bibs Review
  Fresh, pillowy snow was piling up on Vail Pass. Determined to get my fill of it, I charged up for my second lap, beads of sweat rolling down my face, neck, and back, wicking through my base layers and — to my relief — the Raide TourTech Ski Bibs as well.

This Idaho Forester Relies on His Skis to Work Through the Winter

Comfort and Safety Collide at $900: Bell Moto-10 Spherical Helmet Review
  My 95-year-old grandpa is often the toughest, smartest guy in the room. He raced motorcycles across the Mojave Desert and flat-bottomed boats across the Missouri River, survived Rocky Mountain snowstorms on horseback, and even built a house at age 60. The man valued reliable gear and taught me the adage, You get what you pay for.   But even with that...
Zpacks Duplex Lite Tent Review: Cut Weight, Not Comfort — Unless You’re Over 6 Feet Tall
  Many hikers become obsessed with saving weight when deciding on gear for thru-hikes. Cut a few ounces here, save a few grams there — it all adds up. Gradually, we dial in our weight item by item, realizing we didnt need a second pair of shorts or a fourth pair of socks.   A few items, however, are a necessity to...

  It’s a great year for planet-watching. In addition to this week’s stellar views of Mars, stargazers can admire multiple “planet parades”—the simultaneous appearance of several planets in the night sky—in 2025. Arguably the best parade of the year commences on January 18, with Venus and Saturn appearing within 2.2 degrees, or roughly two pinky-widths, of each other. The parade will...
Denali Calling: Testing the Iridium GO! Satellite Hotspot on North America’s Tallest Mountain
  We huddled in the cook tent at 14,000 feet on the West Buttress of Denali as temperatures plummeted to near 0 degrees F. Do we stay and rest at 14K camp? Or push to high camp at 17K and try for the summit? As mountain guides, it was our responsibility to make the call, and thankfully, we had an Iridium...
