Description
LEKI Code: LESECL15 14 mm Lower Section 831 mm Length Kevlar / Carbon SLS (Super Lock System) 16/14 mm Section Production Era: 2006–2009
The Instructor, Walker Unlimited, and Lady Instructor represent LEKI’s premium mid-2000s SLS range, where Kevlar/Carbon composite construction gave walkers a material upgrade over standard aluminium without the fragility associated with pure carbon fibre. At 831 mm, this is the full lower section of a two-piece 16/14 mm pole — it spans the majority of the assembled pole length from basket to upper section joint, and its replacement restores the complete structural and weight profile of the original build. Ideal for UK walkers who invested in a quality pole during the 2006–2009 era for use on the long coastal paths of Pembrokeshire or the exposed ridges above the Brecon Beacons. Accurate replacement requires verification of both the printed length (831 mm) and diameter (14 mm) marked on your existing lower section. This section uses the SLS Super Lock System twist collar — it will not fit SL1, SL2, or SL+ lever-lock poles. Always check the printed specifications on your current section before ordering; the 831 mm length distinguishes this from shorter sections in the same family.

► Compatible Poles & Fitting Guide
LESECL15 is confirmed compatible with the following LEKI poles from the 2006–2009 SLS generation. Always verify against the 831 mm printed length and 14 mm diameter on your existing lower section — these measurements override model name matching.
✓ Instructor — article codes 062634, 062632, 072632, 072634, 082632, 082634, 092634
✓ Lady Instructor — article code 092632
✓ Walker Unlimited — article code 062688
✓ Additional confirmed compatible article codes (model names not established from available sources): 062312, 062313, 062322, 082312, 082313, 082660, 092660, 6352632, 6352634, 6352312, 6352313
✓ Twist the SLS collar at the upper joint anti-clockwise to release the lower section. Insert the replacement from below until it seats fully at the internal stop. Twist the collar clockwise until firmly secured. Pull-test before use to confirm the lock holds under load.
✓ Lock tension check: the SLS collar should rotate with moderate resistance; a collar that turns too freely indicates worn locking surfaces. Any slip under downward tip pressure means the lock has not fully engaged.
✓ Kevlar/Carbon integrity check: inspect the section under direct light for cracks, delamination, or white stress marks. Kevlar/Carbon composite is more brittle than aluminium at impact points — check the tip zone and anywhere that has made hard contact with rock or ice.
✓ Confirm the 831 mm length marked on your existing section before ordering — this two-section pole family may have been produced with sections of different lengths across seasons; only the printed measurement is definitive.
► Not Compatible With
✗ SL1 (Speed Lock 1) or SL2 (Speed Lock 2) external lever systems — completely different locking mechanism; will not engage with SLS twist collar geometry
✗ SL+ (Speed Lock Plus) external lever system — lever-based design incompatible with SLS twist-collar locking
✗ Classic Lock (pre-SLS internal twist) — different thread pitch and collar design; will not lock securely despite superficial similarity
✗ Poles whose existing lower section is not marked 831 mm — the printed length is the definitive check; do not order based on model name or visual assessment alone
BEFORE YOU ORDER — FOUR-POINT CHECK
✓ Printed length: 831 mm
✓ Diameter: 14 mm
✓ Locking system: SLS twist collar at the upper joint; no external lever — purchase era 2006–2009
✓ Construction: Kevlar/Carbon composite, two-section telescopic; 831 mm is the full lower section, not a short tip section
