With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Consumer Contract Regulations (CCR)

What are the Consumer Contract Regulations?

Under the "Consumer Contract Regulations, you have the right to cancel an order for goods made at a distance. These rights start from the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

Your right to cancel

Your right to cancel an order for goods starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive your goods.

This 14 day period is the time you have to decide whether to cancel, you then have a further 14 days to actually send the goods back.

Your Right to a Refund under CCR

You may get a refund within 14 days of either, the trader getting the goods back, or you providing evidence of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), whichever is the sooner.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of you handling the goods more than was necessary. The extent to which you can handle the goods is the same as it would be if you were assessing them in a shop.

Refunding the cost of delivery

The trader has to refund the basic delivery cost of getting the goods to you in the first place, so if you opted for enhanced service e.g. guaranteed next day, it only has to refund the basic cost.

Exemptions

There are some circumstances where the Consumer Contracts Regulations does not give you a right to cancel. These include CDs, DVDs or software if you've broken the seal on the wrapping, perishable items and tailor-made or personalised items. They also include goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that have been broken or tampered with, e.g. Climbing Equipment and PPE.

My goods are broken

If you feel that your item is defective/broken/faulty and it is still under warranty, please contact our Customer Support team([email protected])with as much information as possible with regards to the fault, including photos if applicable.

We want to reduce our impact on the environment as much as possible, the first step for this is reducing our waste. Therefore, please note that we will always offer a professional repair in the first instance; if the product can be repaired.

This may involve your product being sent back to our suppliers or to a professional repair company. Please note that due tovaried procedures, warranty claims and repairs can take between 2 and 4 weeks to be concluded

LEKI Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact 100-120cm Poles

Season:SS26

Brand:Leki

Code:65520681

What are the Leki Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact?

The Leki Skytera FX Carbon SL Compact are the shortest and lightest poles in the Skytera ultralight range, engineered for athletes and fast-moving adventurers who need maximum packability and minimal weight. At just 173 g per pole and a folded length of only 39 cm, these poles virtually disappear into a running vest or pack. Ideal for fastpackers, alpine racers, and ultralight purists, they blend carbon stiffness with a highly compact folding design for demanding missions where every gram and centimetre counts.

What are they made of?

Carbon Shaft

Constructed entirely from HRC carbon fibre, the poles are exceptionally stiff, responsive, and ultralight. Carbon provides excellent energy transfer and reduced swing weight, maximising efficiency during steep climbs and fast descents.

Matt Finish

A matte surface treatment helps protect the shaft from scratches and abrasions, maintaining a clean, technical look while enhancing long-term durability in rugged environments.

Verticon Grip

The Verticon ergonomic grip is shaped for efficiency and fast-paced control. Made from lightweight, durable polymers, it reduces fatigue and ensures precise handling during high-output activities.

Lock System D-Loop Mesh Strap

The adjustable D-Loop Mesh Strap combines strong, lightweight webbing with breathable mesh for a minimal yet secure wrist connection. Comfortable and durable, it provides stability without adding unnecessary weight.

What are their features?

Compact Fixed-Length Design

The SL Compact model offers a shortened, efficient length range of 100–120 cm, making it ideal for smaller athletes or anyone wanting the lightest possible setup. The reduced max length contributes to the ultra-low weight of 173 g per pole.

Ultra-Packable Size

Folding down to just 39 cm, these poles are exceptionally compact. They fit easily into running vests, small fastpacking packs, and even carry-on luggage, making them perfect for speed missions where rapid stowing is essential.

Stable Four-Section Shaft

The Ø14|12|12|12 mm shaft configuration maintains reliable stiffness while keeping bulk to a minimum. Four sections allow a smaller folded length than traditional trekking poles.

CLD Folding System

The Core Locking Device (CLD) offers quick, intuitive deployment. With a single action, the pole locks securely, and folds neatly when not in use, maintaining a streamlined design for fast movement.

Nordic Basket

Equipped with a Nordic basket, the poles excel on firm trails, gravel, and hard-packed paths. Its compact shape minimises snagging and enhances precise pole placement, making it ideal for endurance efforts and high-speed alpine travel.

Durable Tips

The carbide Flex Tip Short provides sharp, dependable traction on rocky ground, icy paths, and mixed terrain. Carbide is highly wear-resistant, ensuring long-term reliability even under intense, high-frequency use.

Features:

  • Ultralight HRC carbon shaft
  • Extremely compact 39 cm pack size
  • Featherweight: 173 g per pole
  • Fixed-length performance with short size range (100–120 cm)
