ProLite Gear
After much research and development and months of testing Gossamer Gear brings you a new fixed length trekking pole that they feel is the finest in the world. The Lightrek 3's are not only lighter than their previous Lightreks they are far stronger as well. A great deal of effort and resources went into the designing of the new shafts, which are now made in the USA and have been thoroughly field tested with an overwhelming thumbs up. They are using new tips as well so the only thing old school about these is the grip. They could go on and on about the specific engineering and manufacturing that goes into one of these but really you've got to try them to see just how great they are!
