Leki — Poles and accessories for trail, skiing and camping

Leki : quality and efficiency

The brand Leki was created in 1948 by Karl Lenhart who was at the time, a skier dissatisfied with the quality and functionality of the ski poles available on the market. As a result, the creator decided to manufacture the grips and baskets himself before launching production series in the 1960s. This is how the first model of ski poles was launched on the market in 1970.

To diversify its offer, Leki ventured into poles often used for hiking, trail running, or trekking. In 1974, the Makalu pole was a true success by being the first on the market to present an adjustment system. A few years later in 1982, the brand developed trekking poles with shock-absorbing features for maximum comfort. It is also worth noting that mountaineering was attracted to the brand with folding poles presented in 2013.

Alongside its innovations, the team reflects and develops grips to achieve an incredible hold. It was in 1998 that Leki revolutionized the pole market with a system never seen before: trigger. But 10 years later, it is the Trigger S system that takes over as a spectacular innovation. The glove and pole connect and do not detach except in case of a fall or voluntary action.

To go further in its product ranges, Leki developed an external adjustment system: speed lock. The pair of poles can thus be adjusted with a simple gesture.

Poles for all seasons

As previously mentioned, the brand Leki wanted to offer its customers several ranges. That is why it diversifies its offer by presenting ski poles, trail poles, mountaineering poles, hiking poles, trekking poles or even cross-country ski poles.

Today, Leki is the leader in the field of poles and glove systems. Highly qualified and rich in many years of expertise, the brand manufactures quality products for all outdoor sports.
