The Leki Sherpa will keep you safe and stable on demanding mountain tours in high terrain mountains! The three-section pole is specially designed for mountaineering and is equipped with the new Aergon Air. The grip has been improved in numerous ways and has been completely redesigned in terms of comfort and control. Its special hollow core technology combines lightweight construction with large, supportive surfaces that meet all the ergonomic requirements of your hand. Maximum grip and control when going downhill is provided by the Aergon Air´s rubberized grip back. The inclined angle supports your wrist for optimal guidance and placement of the pole and contributes safety on the mountain. This stable mountaineering pole is equipped with a flex tip, allowing the Big Mountain Binding Basket to be added directly on the mountain in case of snow. Made from aluminum, the Sherpa is stable and yet weighs only 279 g, making it your trusty mountain ally.

The product quality is excellent and I am fully satisfied with my purchase from Varuste.net. However, I have to deduct one star due to delivery issues caused by FedEx, the shipping partner. While Varuste.net processed my order quickly and provided great service, FedEx’s customs handling was problematic: they consolidated my two independent shipments, resulting in unjustified customs charges and a lot of extra paperwork and frustration for me as the recipient. Communication with FedEx was slow and unhelpful, and it took significant time and effort to resolve the situation. I strongly recommend Varuste.net to reconsider their logistics partners, as the delivery experience directly affects customer satisfaction. Other than the shipping issue, everything else about Varuste.net was perfect — great selection, fast processing, and good prices.
Very high quality walking sticks

On the first trip, on the third day, I started to slip with these poles, and my weight and the weight of the bike (approx. 130 kg) piled up on the left hand and the pole. The middle part of the rod buckled and snapped across. Fortunately, I fell next to the pole and didn't get any new holes in myself/equipment. I sent a message to the manufacturer about a month ago, hoping to get that middle part as a spare part. No answer yet. Positive things: The adjustment works well, the grip is ok on a variety of surfaces, the ergonomics are good.

Very good hiking poles. The locking mechanism is easy to adjust on the go.
