The Skytera Lite is a light telescoping trekking pole for day hikes and long trail days, built on LEKI's three-piece HTS 6.5 aluminum shaft for stability under load. The Verticon grip is molded from 1K foam that weighs about an ounce, and a flip of the Speed Lock Plus lever sets the length with no tools. It comes with trekking and tour baskets, so it works from Gorge trails in spring to snowy trailheads in November.
