The MAKALU LITE AS is an ideal pole for hikers and backpackers looking for a durable yet lightweight pole for all-day comfort on the trail. The Aergon Air grip offers exceptional ergonomic performance with hollow-core technology and a rubberized material on the oversized grip head, making it ideal for palming during long downhill sections, and the built-in DSS elastomer provides antishock protection, helping to reduce the impact on joints and ligaments by up to 40%. This collapsible telescoping pole has an extensive adjustment range between either 100-135 cm available in a blue-green or 90-125 cm available in clay-white, providing nearly infinite adjustability to meet the demands of ever-changing terrain. The compact version (100 – 120 cm) features a compact foam grip for smaller hands in cork optic and was previously known as Cressida Lite AS. If you are looking for a trail companion to help you arrive at your next destination fresher than ever, look no further than the MAKALU LITE AS.
NOTE: Always use poles that have DSS tips with attached baskets.
