Description
The LEKI Khumbu is the go-to three-section aluminium trekking pole for adults who want a dependable, well-specified companion on the mountain without unnecessary complexity. Built from HTS 6.5 aluminium throughout, it delivers the stability and durability that demanding trails require, at a weight of 277 g per pole that keeps it genuinely practical for all-day use.
The Aergon grip in 2K CorTec provides a secure, ergonomic hold across varied terrain, and the Lock System Strap Soft 2.0 keeps fit simple and comfortable. Length adjustment from 110 cm to 145 cm is handled by the Speed Lock plus external lever — fast, intuitive and fully operable with gloves on. The Flex Tip Short (Carbide) and Trekking 2.0 basket combination covers everything from compacted mountain paths to loose, mixed ground.
What’s new for SS26: Updated graphics in Black / Pale Clay Light / Pale Clay Dark. Specification and construction are unchanged from the proven SS25 Khumbu platform.
