Leki Micro Tour Stick Vario

Active Junky’s pushed this one well beyond the hiking trail – this lightweight and foldable beast has accompanied us on mountaineering missions and splitboard tours all winter long. A carbon upper pole (cloaked in innovative and ergonomic grips) supplies strength and shaves weight, while the aluminum lower section can handle dings. Not only are the poles ultralight, but also the snap-and-pull system cuts down transition times. Simply unlock the poles at the push of a button, pull the cord tight until the mechanism snaps and adjust as needed. Interchangeable baskets make this Leki system an ideal 4-season pole, one that’s rapidly become a favorite of Active Junky testers.
