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.

Sea Eagle SE370 Kayak Review: Reliable, Not Flashy — This Inflatable Gets the Job Done
  Picture this: Two wildland firefighters on their day off, racing back upstream to beat the setting sun, with an 5 a.m. start time for the next day, dragging an inflatable kayak up the last shallow section in the dark, while only semi-ironically belting out an original cadence musical rendition of David Goggin’s “Who’s Gonna Carry the Boats?”    I doubt this...

Bunkers in Yellowstone: Deepfake Vid Uses Real Journalists to Promote Fake Housing
  No, the Trump Administration is not trying to sell 5,000 acres of Yellowstone National Park to build apocalypse-ready ranger housing. And no, there is not a company called Bunkers4Everyone lobbying Congress to begin construction on these eco-friendly housing solutions (even though youll find a very official-looking press release listed on the AP News site).   But even GearJunkie editors werent immediately...
Inhaling Carbon Dioxide Could Boost Athletic Performance—But At What Cost?
  Back in 1969, naval researchers took blood samples from the crew of a Polaris nuclear submarine over the course of an eight-week patrol. Three-quarters of the sailors were smokers, so carbon monoxide levels were chronically elevated in the sealed confines of the sub. After a few weeks in this toxic miasma, the crew’s levels of hemoglobin, the crucial protein in...
Paddling Western NC With Olympian Evy Leibfarth
  Bryson City, North Carolina, is more than just a postcard-perfect mountain town — it’s where Olympic kayaker Evy Leibfarth grew up learning to paddle the rapids of the Nantahala River. “I think it really instilled that love of being outdoors in me from a really young age,” she says.    Her days here are simple and stacked: lunch at River’s End,...
Saving Yellowstone’s Native Trout
  It’s easy to think Yellowstone National Park is all geysers and grizzlies. But for anglers, the park’s native cutthroat trout belong at the top of the to-do list. Just ask Austin Campbell. Fly-fishing transformed Campbell’s life, and now the angling guide and advocate loves to share his enthusiasm for visiting and protecting places like Yellowstone.   Campbell grew up fly-fishing with...

Gabby Shepard Wants Everyone to Care About the World Below the Surface
  The first time Gabby Shepard sank below the ocean’s surface and took a breath from a scuba tank, her world changed. “Everything melted away,” she says. “I was mesmerized. Just totally captivated.
