 LEKI Travel Super Micro Pole By: Leki Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 6 More Information Great travelling cane for runts.  On: 2008-02-13As a short man (~55") and unintended adventurer, this pole is a necessity! I can compact and pack it away in a small bag without fear of tearing my clothes or breaking my toiletries. However, its not made for anyone taller than a self-admitted runt, who should feel somewhat special using this great product. Disappointed  On: 2007-11-18It seems like a good idea, but why would it have been designed to have a maximum length of only 35 inches? I apparently didnt notice that part of the description before I ordered mine. It does me no good unless I am walking barefoot, and I am only 57" tall. So, consider that point carefully! Also, it is very easily over adjusted which the instructions clearly advise against. Then, considerable time is spent trying to reposition each segment. Apparently the name "Micro Pole" refers to its usable length rather than its compactability. Its suitable for short users that have plenty of time to make adjustments to it. An All Terrain Pole On: 2007-11-17I bought this for my wife so that she could more easily navigate the trails of Yosemite and Sequoia/Kings Canyon. She loved it, and now uses two for greater balance on the stony slopes and to cross some of the creeks. Since shes getting faster than I, I suppose its time for me to switch from my old six foot stick to the Leki. Won't Travel Without It! On: 2007-10-22LEKI Travel Super Micro Pole I purchased the Lexi Travel Super Micro Pole in June 2007 and wont go anywhere without it! I have severe glaucoma and cant negotiate steps or stony paths well. Using this pole, I was able to trek all over Yellowtone National Park, Macchu Pichu, the Abra Malaga Pass in Peru (at 12,000 feet of stony ground!) as well as less daunting places. The rubber stopper adapts the pole to city and preserved stone walkways (like the paths in Macchu Pichu and the metal cap works extremely well on any other surface. The poles length for storage fits into a carryon with wheels easily. The poles height is perfect for me -- which means that a person over 5 ft 5 in or so would not find it long enough, however. LEKI Travel Super Micro Pole On: 2007-02-02My brother has a bad leg. He loves it. Light and sturdy. Great help! On: 2006-11-05We went on difficult trails in Ireland and it was very helpful to use these poles. They are easy and light to carry and sturdy to climb. |
