Description
The LEKI Makalu Lite Compact (SS26) is built for hikers and hillwalkers who want a shorter, more compact pole range without losing the support and control needed for steep climbs and long descents. The Compact adjustment range runs from 90–125 cm, making it a strong choice for smaller users and anyone who prefers a shorter maximum length for efficient technique and pack-friendly carry.
It uses LEKI’s Aergon Air grip with the PAS system and Skin Strap 5.0 for secure handling, plus Speed Lock Plus for fast, reliable length changes when the terrain shifts. The aluminium HTS 6.5 shaft construction is designed for durability on rough trails, finished with Trekking Basket 2.0 and a Flex Tip (Short) for stable, precise pole plants on mixed ground.
