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.

Small Enough for Your Keys, Tough Enough for Your Day: Victorinox Mini Champ Review
  Multitools always make their presence known in my pocket, reminding me that they are in there. While something like the mid-sized Leatherman Skeletool CX doesn’t take up too much real estate, I am constantly aware of it. That’s fine when I’m working around the yard, but when I’m walking around the city, I want something that completely disappears in my...

Car Camping Optimized: Pacific Adventure Works Hideway Sleep Platform Review
  The two things you need to know about me are that I generally like to hike and camp alone and that I like to hit the trailhead before sunrise. To catch those early morning adventures over the years, I’ve had to sleep in my vehicle, and it’s never been optimal.   To date, I can confirm that it is uncomfortable to...
Titanium Gravel Bikes, Recycled Wool Jackets, Topo Designs Watches, and More Emerging Gear
  Collaborations are a tried-and-true method for outdoor brands to build hype, and this week has plenty of tag teams for smart new products.   Topo Designs worked with VAER and Watch and Wound for a chic timepiece, while cycling brand Velocio teamed up with Rux for a do-it-all gear bag.

Trump Appoints New BLM Head as Public Lands Agency Changes Course
  On Wednesday, President Donald Trump nominated former New Mexico Rep. Steve Pearce to lead the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The nomination has added fuel to the nation’s long-running fight over how public lands should be managed.   The BLM oversees 245 million acres of surface land and nearly three times that in mineral rights, making its director one of the...
GORE-TEX Invisible Fit: Not Your Grandparents’ Waterproof Shoes
  Waterproof footwear has been around since the mid-19th century. Breathable, lightweight, waterproof footwear? Well, that’s another story. When GORE-TEX Brand first entered the boot scene in the 1980s, the brand’s waterproof technology was a massive leap forward from the wellies and gumboots of the day. Finally, boots made with GORE-TEX Technology offered a breathable option for keeping feet dry outdoors....

13 Years of Abuse & Still Going Strong: The North Face Base Camp Duffel M Review
  Years ago, when I was in college, I worked at The North Face (TNF) store in Boulder, Colo. As employees, we had a 50% discount on gear, so naturally, every payday, I would give my entire paycheck back to the company, buying rain jackets, tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags that would last me for years to come.   One of the...
VERO X-Realtree Tide Tracker Review: Time and Tide With Affordable Elegance
  True confession. I’m a mainlander living in a mountain state, and I’m reviewing a tide tracking watch. But I’m also an Oregonian expat who makes a yearly pilgrimage home, introducing the coast of my youth to my own child. Brackish water pumps deep in the veins.   Being an inlander unplugs you from coastal time. It’s a gap of intuition, a...
GOREWEAR Is Closing Its Doors After 40 Years
