I’ve had the chance to test the Leki poles on some demanding trails and during competitive events like the Marathon du Mont Blanc. My experiences with these poles across various terrains—from the rugged paths of Corsica’s GR20 to the Hardangervidda in Norway, and the Peaks of the Balkans—have given me a comprehensive view of their capabilities.
The first thing that stands out is that they are remarkably lightweight, which is a significant advantage during long thru-hikes and trail running competitions. Their ability to fold into a compact form is also particularly useful. For instance, on the GR20 in Corsica, known for its challenging scrambling sections, being able to quickly fold the poles and stow them away freed up my hands, making it safer and more convenient to go across difficult passages. This feature also came in handy during my travels between hikes, as I could easily pack the poles into my backpack without them taking up much space and risking discussions at airports about whether I could have the poles with me or not.
