These poles are great, I had a chance to try them out this past weekend and they worked very well. Durable, lightweight, pack up small and taller poles at 135cm so perfect for taller people. I’m 6’5” and felt they were the were the perfect height.

I had another pair of Leki trekking poles that I've used for 20 years. While hiking through the swamp near Pochuck Mountain on the AT, I didn't realize I had lost a lower section of the pole. So after 15 years of additional use, my wife decided to get me a new pair for Christmas.The new poles are about 1.5 oz lighter - may not sound like much, but it is very noticeable when hiking. The only thing I don't like about the new poles is the plastic clip used to hold the poles together. With the old set, the clip could fold back on itself and the snap to the same pole. I can't do this with a new set of poles and I'm concerned that the clip is going to get snagged on something and pulled off.

Great rigid, lightweight poles. Love the cork handles, very comfortable when hands are sweaty or wet and the locks are reliable so far. Only used them several times so far but will be hiking Nepal next year with them

Great set of poles! Love the cork handles, they feel very secure overall. Really easy to use adjustments. The only thing that for my personal preference isn’t PERFECT are the straps. I don’t love the feel of them. But. With how much I love everything else, it’s definitely not a show stopper. Very highly recommended. They have a pretty hard life with me and so far they’re holding up really well.
I wanted to love these but I was truly disappointed when, not once, not twice, but three times in about 8 usages, they collapsed while in use. I plan to return them, and I don't want to rate them even lower until I find out if this pair is an anomaly. I don't think I put an unusual amount of force on them (140 lbs, 5'8") so I don't think I "caused" this problem. I like everything about them, but this is a deal-breaker!
I finally had a chance to put these poles through their paces. I took a 6+ mile hike today in the muddiest terrain I've ever been in. Every step was an exercise in trying to keep my feet from sliding out from under me. These poles were invaluable for providing stability to keep from landing on my face. There were several times in the mud and a couple of water crossings, that the poles bore a significant amount of my weight (I'm 305# without gear). They never slipped out or telescoped down once.For those that may have had issues with poles closing up or collapsing while using them, try adjusting the knob on the clamp so that the clamp takes a bit of force to latch. You don't want to have to bear down on it, but it should take some pressure to latch it. This will ... MoreI finally had a chance to put these poles through their paces.

These were great. I looked like a dork, but they were really helpful for this middle aged girl with bad knees and they fold away nicely.Not quite as comfortable in the handgrip as another leki I have used (the faux cork felt different), but these were fine to use.
These arrived just in time for our SHT backpacking trip. We did 14 miles in and out, and these poles saw all sorts of terrain. Trails consisted of various elevation changes, rocky paths, compacted and root exposed dirt, clay mud slides, board walks, marshes, and through the falls. These poles helped with traction and stability through all of it.The cork hand grips have a fairly smooth finish, the ergonomic shape and wrist straps keep your hands locked in place and I had no issues with rubbing or blisters.The metal tips got good traction on rocks and board walks.The baskets kept the poles from sinking in the mud and marsh.The quick adust clips are shaped well enough that they would be easy to adjust even with gloves on, but small enough to not get caught on ... MoreThese arrived just in time for our SHT backpacking trip.

I used these on a hike recently with complete snow and ice coverage and a 70% grade on some of the ascent/descent. My old worn down micro spikes were not up to the task for traction and these poles were often bearing the entirety of my weight to keep me from sliding back down the mountain. The locking mechanisms never slipped or released under strain but were easy to extend and collapse while walking as they were/were not needed throughout the hike. They were equally useful on the descent, as I sustained a knee injury and I was again using them to bear almost my entire weight. I would not have finished the hike without them. My body may not have been prepared but these poles were.
Love my Leki Khumba Lite trekking poles. Climbing more on my hikes with greater ease and more stability. Sturdy, light, and well balanced. Awesome value for the money.
