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.

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...
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...

Watch ‘¡Ay Chihuahua!’: An Epic Mexican Exploratory Kayak Adventure
  Eric Boomer and Ben Stookesberry are proven and legendary explorers, most notably for their whitewater kayak missions to the far corners of the globe. In this short film, presented by the Whitewater brand, they check off some un-paddled gems deep in Mexico.   Not only are they the kayakers and safety crew, but also the film crew on this wild exploratory...
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...
Snowboarding the ‘Peak of Evil’: Patagonia Athletes Shred Biggest Line of Their Lives in India
  When Nick Russell and Jerry Mark heard Hillary Nelson recount the story of making her first descent on Indias Papsura (aka the Peak of Evil), they were immediately intrigued. The way it was described to them, it didnt sound like just another ski line. It sounded like a real mountaineering challenge — and the two snowboarders wanted their shot at...
Check Out the Dust Moto ‘Hightail’: US-Made, Lightweight Electric Motorcycle
  There are very few electric motocross or trail bikes currently in production. The king of the electric hill is the Stark Varg, which closely mimics gas dirt bikes in size and performance (in some aspects, it outperforms 450cc dirt bikes). But for many, this is too much power, size, and weight, adding to the already tall barriers to entry. Dust...

Full-Face Snow Helmet, Ultralight Microphone, Graphene Trail Runners, and More Emerging Gear
  We missed Emerging Gear last week, so in classic Thanksgiving style — were serving up leftovers. That means weve got a few extra platters of outdoor gear for you to peruse.   Snow lovers will want to window-shop the gorgeous new Eileen Gu skis from Faction, as well as the Stormtrooper-like snow helmets from Ruroc. Cyclists wont want to miss this...
Subaru Tops Charts, While Rivian and Jeep Hit Bottom: 2024 Consumer Reports Auto Report Card
  Wondering which car, truck or crossover is the best for you to buy? There are plenty of factors to consider, including price, performance, handling, features, and safety — though reliability typically lands in the top spot for most American shoppers. Consumer Reports has handed out its 2025 Automotive Report Card and this year put a premium on dependability. The results...
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...
I Had My Doubts About FlyKitt. But It’s Proven Itself on Every One of My Overseas Trips.
  I should be wrecked.   It’s my first full day in South Africa after a brutal 33-hour journey from my home in Bend, Oregon. I woke at 3:15 A.M. to catch the first of three flights to Johannesburg, crossed nine time zones in economy class, and finally fell into bed at 9 P.M. Typically, my jet lag for such a long-haul...
