What are the SkySolo Trekking Poles?
The Leki SkySolo are robust, adjustable trekking poles designed for hikers, trekkers, and mountaineers who require reliability and versatility in a lightweight package. With a broad adjustment range, they adapt easily to varied terrain and user needs, making them ideal for long trail days, alpine missions, and multi-day treks.
What are they made of?
Aluminium Shaft
Constructed from HTS 6.5 aluminium, the SkySolo offers high strength, excellent impact resistance, and dependable stability in demanding mountain environments.
Matt Finish
A matte surface finish protects the shafts from scratches and abrasions, keeping them looking clean while shielding the aluminium from wear.
Verticon Grip
The Verticon ergonomic grip is moulded from durable, high-strength polymer. Its shape maximises comfort and control, whether climbing steep slopes or striding across flatter terrain.
Lock System D-Loop Mesh Strap
The adjustable strap uses reinforced fibres and breathable mesh, offering strength and all-day comfort while keeping weight low.
What are their features?
Adjustable Length
The Speed Lock 2 Plus external clamp provides a wide adjustment range of 110–145 cm. It is glove-friendly, delivers maximum holding force, and ensures reliable length security even under heavy load, making it ideal for alpine and multi-day environments.
Compact Pack Size
Collapsed, the poles measure just 70 cm, making them easy to store on the side of a backpack or inside travel luggage. This streamlined size prevents snagging and enhances convenience when travelling or navigating dense trails.
Stable Construction
The three-section shaft (Ø18|16|14 mm) balances strength with packability. Larger upper segments add rigidity, while slimmer lower sections reduce weight. This tapered structure minimises flex and vibration, resulting in a solid, confident feel even at full extension.
Interchangeable Baskets
Equipped with Trekking 2.0 baskets for soft ground, the SkySolo is also compatible with Big Mountain Binding (BMB) baskets. BMB baskets feature edges for adjusting ski bindings and clearing snow, making the poles suitable for both trekking and ski touring.
Durable Tips
The carbide Flex Tip Long provides secure and precise planting on rock, ice, mud, and snow. Carbide's durability ensures the tips remain sharp, while the extended design improves swing dynamics and protects the pole shaft.
