Makalu Cork Lite
$149.95
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.

In “Terrible Beauty,” Auden Schendler Explains Why We’re Losing the Climate Fight—and Why We Have to Keep Trying Anyway
  Auden Schendler, one of the biggest climate advocates in the outdoor industry, doesn’t start his new book, Terrible Beauty, with any of the myriad lessons he’s learned over decades of environmental work. Schendler, who is Aspen One’s (parent company of Aspen Snowmass), doesn’t drop into scare tactics, or data, or the myriad ways global warming is harming recreation, business, and our...
ATV Versatility Meets UTV Utility: 2025 Polaris Sportsman 6×6 570 Review
  Why have four wheels when you can have six? Bigger is almost always better, right? The Polaris Sportsman 66 570 certainly isnt a little machine.   I wasnt initially sure how Id feel about an ATV with so much additional length. In the area I tend to rip around in, being nimble is a requirement for an ATV. Honestly, my first...
Reimagining the History of Skiing, One Photo at a Time
  While visiting the lodge at Idaho’s Sun Valley Resort a few years ago, Colombian-American photographer Sofía Jaramillo noticed something disconcerting about the pictures lining the walls. In the images, which date back to the ski hill’s opening in 1936, nearly everyone was white. “That’s when I got the idea—how cool would it be to re-create these, except centering people of...

  While Urban Arrow electric cargo bikes have been around for well over a decade now, this latest one with Boschs Smart System is the most refined yet. The Urban Arrow Family Smart System Cargo Line e-bike was announced on September 19, but I got my hands on it early for a few months of testing over the summer.   I mostly...
It’s Sweater Weather. Here Are Our 5 Favorites for the Winter
  Sweaters are back. Sure, fleece has been the king of mid-layers for decades, dominating the key mid-layer space of adventurous wardrobes, but in recent years old school knitwear, made mostly from natural fibers, is raging back into fashion. Personally, I’ve become absolutely sweater-obsessed in the last couple of years and can’t remember the last time I chose a fleece over...
This Ski Resort Just Recorded One of the Largest In-Bounds Avalanches in Its History
  Mother Nature has provided another reminder that avalanches can occur on either side of a ski resorts boundary.   Earlier this week, patrollers at Colorados Steamboat Resort published images and video of a massive avalanche that swept down four closed runs on the morning of Wednesday, November 27. Nobody was injured in the slide, which occurred near the summit of 10,570-foot...
Just Because They’re Good for You, Doesn’t Mean They Can’t Look Good, Too: Chaco Classic Flip Review
  As you’re walking the shoreline collecting seashells, with the cool waves hitting your feet, you want a shoe that can stand up to the sand, salt, and water. Sometimes, that quick walk turns into a few miles of walking as you keep filling your pockets and taking in the sunshine vibes.   Your feet shouldn’t pay the price for this extended...
Pro Skier Turns Nurse: TNF Athlete Muses on Career Changes, Self-Expression in ‘The War on Style’
  After podiuming at the Freeride World Tour, Hank Bilous wanted a change of pace. So, he decided to pursue a different passion for a while — medicine — and became a nurse. Both careers require extremely technical skill sets, and both frequently deal with life-and-death risks.   How did he translate his own self-expression from one to the other? And what does...
Is America’s Next Great Thru-Hike in Texas?
  What does an experienced politician, bicycling advocate, and native Texan do to fill up their time when they retire? If you’re Charles Gandy, you try to create a Texas version of the Pacific Crest Trail. Gandy is spearheading efforts to develop the xTx trail, a 1,500-mile thru-hike that crosses Texas from Orange to El Paso. We chatted with Gandy to...
Mountain Bike Bends Around Turns, Literally: Rocky Mountain Instinct Carbon 70 AXS Review
  Mountain bike design, especially suspension, involves managing tradeoffs. Weight, price, suspension travel characteristics, handling, and even pedal height (to avoid pedal strikes) must all be considered. The final set of compromises hopefully aligns with the designers original mission statement for the bike.   Rocky Mountain may have never received that memo, as its Instinct Carbon 70 AXS made it difficult to...
