"We gave the stout Makalu series an Editors' Choice Gold Award in 2004 for its time-tested performance. Recent upgrades make these three-section poles even better." - Backpacker Magazine 2008 Gear Guide. Leki's Super Makalu CotTec PA poles sport the Triple Spring System which allows the Antishock Spring System to be set individually in three stages. Independently from body weight and personal preference, you can select the most suitable spring setting or, if desired, no spring setting at all. The 15 degree angle on the grip corrects the wrist's position while gripping, without compromising on ergonomic design benefits. In this neutral position, shocks are absorbed more effectively. The hand can remain closed through the entire poling motion. A real safety plus! The CorTec grip combines natural cork and natural rubber, with advantages you'll feel. They're smooth and comfortable to the touch, offer a solid grip, and are ergonomically designed and extremely durable.

The Leki Super Makalu COR-TEC (PA) Positive Angle (SAS) Soft Antishock System poles are the “Old Faithful”, the cornerstone of LEKI history. These heat treated 7075 Aluminum poles have been on the LEKI line-up for 10 years. With COR-TEC Grips that develop a patina over time (like your favorite cork soled sandals) they also feature comfy Straps and the 360° turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) that was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. Carbide Flextips are added security on rock and ice

| Having left the last pair of Makalu poles at the trial head, I was forced to buy the new Super Makalu COR-TEC PA Antishock. Immediately I noticed the ease of adjusting the poles and locking them in place, a chronic problem with the last pair. Easy and comfortable to use. | |

| These poles help my wife uphill and down on mountainous hikes. They collapse to a good size for packing in carry on. Convenient. My wife has small hands and she likes the cork grips. | |
