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.

  For decades, many of the thru-hikers who trek the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) have ended their journey just a few miles over the U.S.-Canada border.

How to Learn a New Sport with Your Significant Other
  It takes a lot to push yourself to your physical limit alongside a significant other. It takes even more to do so for 12 straight days in some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain.

The Ultimate Guide to Indoor Bike Training: Gear, Tips, and Tricks
  Indoor bike training seems like a sufferfest: a sweat-drenched cyclist alone in a dark basement, sucking stale air, pedaling hard but going nowhere. There are no fellow riders to talk to, no draft to ease the burden, and no scenery to pass the miles. Maybe there is even an analog clock, loudly ticking every second.   But it doesnt have to...

How’s a Small, Made-in-the-USA Company to Survive These Days?
  On a brisk weekday in October 2023, three sewing machines hummed while experimental indie pop played quietly inside a warehouse near the airport in Missoula, Montana. Three sewers had their heads down, assembling eggplant-colored jumpsuits, as Mallory Ottariano, the 34-year-old founder of the women’s outdoor clothing brand Youer, squinted into a dizzying spreadsheet. The Youniverse—what Ottariano, a queen of puns,...

  The first rays of sunlight illuminated the Elk Mountains on the periphery of Crested Butte Mountain Resort on a below-freezing December morning. My truck actually says it’s -15 degrees Fahrenheit, as I drive to the backcountry trailhead, trailer in tow. There’s 6 inches of fresh snow in town — meaning the backcountry likely (and hopefully) picked up triple those numbers....
