Makalu Cork Lite Trekking Poles deliver ultralight stability with ergonomic cork comfort

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:


"I’ve used these on everything from long approaches to steep descents, and the comfort really stands out. The cork grips manage moisture well and reduce vibration, while the Aergon Air shape feels natural in the hand all day. They’re light, easy to adjust, and confidence-inspiring on uneven terrain."


We look for trekking poles that disappear beneath our hands while still delivering unwavering support, and the Makalu Cork Lite does exactly that. Designed by LEKI as a refined evolution of a classic, these poles balance lightweight efficiency with all-day comfort, making them a go-to choice for long hikes, demanding ascents, and technical descents. The slim profile keeps swing weight low, helping us maintain a natural rhythm on the trail.


The Aergon Air grip, finished with natural cork, conforms comfortably to the hand while absorbing moisture and reducing vibration over long distances. A rubberized grip back enhances control on steep descents, and the built-in positive angle supports proper wrist alignment for efficient pole placement. Paired with LEKI’s trusted Speed Lock system and durable HTS 6.5 aluminum construction, the Makalu Cork Lite delivers dependable performance for serious trekking objectives.
