New LEKI Poles – Improved Comfort

2014 – There’s been a re-design of our favorite trekking pole. We love the comfort of the foam grip….it’s SO worth an extra $20 over the composite or rubber grips. Also, the long foam grip is wonderful for frequently changing or rocky terrain – when you’re not using the straps.
The redesigned strap is sleeker and many people find it more comfortable. Here’s photos of the 2 models we like – the Double SpeedLock and the SpeedLock Anti-Shock. Click on the REI link below to shop REI – we get a small commission and it costs you nothing. Thank you!

Your recommendation of the Leki Thermolite only comes in XL which is a larger grip. Is this a much larger grip than all the other Leki poles? I can’t seem to find much information on the XL grip and the Thermolite doesn’t only comes in XL.
XL means Extra Long Foam Grip. It’s confusing.
The XL foam grip is worth its weight in gold.
