LEKI Wanderfreund Antishock Trekking Pole - 1 Pole Black, 63-120cm

After spraining my ankle on the Island of Staffa in Scotland, I bought my Leki more for a cane than a walking stick. The Antishock makes it very easy on the hand. However, for the past few years I have used it primarily as a walking stick. And I love it. It is easy to use, easy on the hands, easy to adjust, strong, light-weight, sturdy and durable. When compressed it fits diagonally in a large suitcase so I can take it when heading to birding locations. When extended, it works wonderfully as a walking staff. Honestly, it is one of the favorite things I own because it is so perfect at what it does. Brilliant.
