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.

I Refuse to Allow Taylor Knibb to Become an Internet Meme
  These are strange times for Olympians.   An athlete can win medal after medal, but should they be caught on camera in a compromising or hilarious situation, the ensuing tonnage of Internet memes will overshadow those accolades. Want proof? I dare you to Google French pole vaulter Anthony Ammirati or Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikec.   I fear that American Olympic triathlete Taylor...
Why I Let My Kid Roam Free Outside
  When I heard the news that a Georgia mom was arrested for reckless conduct after someone spotted her ten-year-old son walking alone less than a mile from home, the first thing I did was open Google Maps. I looked up the distance between my house and a nearby middle school that my six-year-old daughter sometimes walks to with a friend...
Renowned Photog Turns ‘Brokenness Into Superpower’: Books Examine Mental Health in Outdoors
  Most photographers spend their lives hidden behind the camera. While their subjects might be rendered iconic through a careful balance of light and composition, the images creators usually keep themselves on the dark side of the shutter.   But Cory Richards took the most important image of his career when he turned the camera on himself. Youve probably seen it. Its...
2025 Chevrolet Silverado HD Trail Boss Review: Not Quite a ZR2, but That’s the Whole Point
  For model year 2025, Chevrolet added the Trail Boss package as an option for the 2500-class Silverado Heavy Duty. Similar to the 1500 Silverado, the 2500 Trail Boss includes Z71 suspension upgrades, blacked-out bumpers with red recovery hooks, and 20-inch wheels shod in all-terrain tires.   A gas V8 comes standard, but the torque-monster Duramax diesel adds towing capacity. This helps...
Shaun White Is Changing the Snowboarding Landscape Once Again
  Shaun White’s snowboarding bona fides are unmatched. Over the course of his career, he racked up three Olympic gold medals on top of 13 X Games victories and forged a legacy as arguably the most well-known and decorated rider of all time. But competitive success is only the beginning of White’s journey. Having pushed board-riding boundaries for more than 20...
A Fixed Blade for EDC: Benchmade Dacian Belt Knife Review
  Overall, Benchmade is a top-notch knife brand with a tactical, outdoor focus. However, with a few new releases, it seems to be experiencing a brand metamorphosis.   If you look at its Bugout line, there are recently released wild color combinations like a black-coated blade with burnt brass handle scales and an electric blue thumb stud. Moving into the Shootout line...
Are You Eating Enough? Here Are 5 Signs You Might Not Be.
  “Running on empty” is a common idiom that can be used to describe a number of scenarios where someone is worn out or unmotivated. For runners that are underfueling, it can be quite literal. Whether you are knowingly or unknowingly underfueling, there are important factors to know about your caloric and nutritional needs.    Despite the prevailing myth that weight loss...
The Best E-Bikes for Hunting in 2024
  E-bikes have no doubt carved out a spot in the hunting industry. They are much quieter, more affordable, and easier to transport than something like a Side-by-Side (SxS) or ATV. And let’s not forget that e-bikes dont require fossil fuels.   Whether it’s shortening travel time to a glassing spot or aiding with hauling meat out of the backcountry, our hunting...
The Best Bushcraft Knives of 2024
  You might be asking yourself, “What is bushcraft, and why are there specific knives for it?” Well, according to Dave Canterbury, in his book Bushcraft 101, bushcraft is a term for wilderness skills and the practice of surviving and thriving in the natural world.” This may lead you to believe, then, that bushcraft knives are survival knives. But they’re not...
Why You’re Hungrier When It’s Cold
  I run year-round, but winter is by far my favorite time to go jogging. When it’s cold and crisp out, I can go much longer and harder, often doubling the length of my summertime routes. Afterward, I want nothing more than to eat like a bear preparing to hibernate for the winter.   I always figured my increased appetite was merely...
