When wandering Nepal or the neighborhood, add state-of-the-art stability to your explorations with this antishock walking staff. Part of Leki's Travel series, Leki's Wanderfreund is a compact single staff featuring a unique grip for comfortable handling with maximum support. The strong Super Locking System (SLS) adjustment requires less effort to securely lock pole sections into position, and the soft Antishock System offers a shock-absorbing ride with limited rebound and reduces weight 20% from previous models.

The Multi-Med COR-TEC cork gripping area frees the hand/wrist of being stuck in one position. Use this cane style single staff at the best length for your activity. There are special sizing instructions for those wanting to use the Wanderfreund as a cane but some folks like to make it taller for a hiking staff. The 360 ° turn back security of the Super Lock System (SLS) was proven to be the strongest by TUV, an independent testing lab. The Carbide Flextip and the Rubber Tip for pavement or indoor use makes this a favorite among older customers or those in post-op rehabilitation.
The Wanderfreund is perfect for hiking, wading and stream crossing. The multi-function CORE-TEC cane / staff grip offers a variety of gripping options and load support.
The Leki(r) Wanderfreund pole is a single-staff walking stick that's perfect for strolling gentler terrain.

Two Poles Up | |

| If you're ready to hit the trail, so are the Leki trekking poles. These poles have all the bells and whistles that you are looking for in a trekking pole. You'll find them light with adjustable lengths that stay at that length because of the great locking system. The comfortable handles don't rip your hands apart, even though larger grips would be great. Also if you're a little vain (like I am) they look good too. So make a special place on the mantel for your old wooden staff and give Leki a try. | |

A very versatile and good staff | |
| Rating: | |
| For those who do not adhere to the current fashion of walking with two poles (the benefits of which can be discussed about), the Wanderfreund offers a very good alternative for the various uses of a staff: support, probing boggy ground, measuring the depth of water, etc. The build is light and strong, the grip polyvalent, allowing many types of use rather than the single grip of the ski-style poles. A basket is highly recommended for off-trail use. | |

A great alternative to a cane! | |
| Rating: | |
| My doctor recommended this walking pole. I have arthritis in right knee and left hip. I do a lot of walking and was having a lot of pain from the arthritis in my hip. I use this pole on my right side. It keeps me in the correct walking position thus keeping pressure off my hip. I love it! It’s lightweight and looks great. I think it is a great alternative to a cane. | |

Solid support - great sporty looks | |

| I bought this for my father who is 67 and recovering from a rather bad leg break. His leg is mostly healed now, but he walks with a decided limp. This Leki Wanderfreund with the smooth cork T-handle really helps him get around with much greater ease. My Dad is not a small guy (5'10" 240lbs.) and this pole is strong and provides good support for him. | |

They have 3 changeable ends.. a terrain basket cup, a snow basket, and a rubber tip....only the rubber tip has showned wear & tear....for good reason..(my tires should last so long!) I would like to replace them. So if anyone knows where I could do that, I would appreciate it.. | |

| This LEKI Trekking Pole is a quality item at a great price. It gives me that little bit extra security when hiking in the woods. I use mine Geocaching, it's wonderful for support on uneven ground, probing the a muddy trail. It's light, strong, adjustable, and did I say it was a great price. As always ALTRECs shipping has always been lightning fast. | |

A must have! | |

| The Leki Wanderfreund Pole is a wonderful aid in hiking over hill and dale and crossing rocky streams. It keeps you steady and balanced like an extra hand and it's great to lean on while stopping to take in the views. You can actually hang your back pack on it too. (After trying mine, my husband had to get one for himself.) | |

Great pole. | |
| Rating: | |
| I used my pole for general walking over a city block in distance. Since it is adjustable I can also use it as a cane. I have Parkinson's disease and am off balance alot. The pole helps me to stay balanced. The price was right too (about half of the price quoted by a local store). | |

Outstanding service | |

| I just received my new Wanderfreund and it is just as pictured, and an outstanding bargain! Altrec had it at my door two days after ordering, and I only paid for standard shipping. I highly recommend this pole and Altrec, and am very pleased with my purchase. I can't wait to take it out this weekend! | |

Leki Wanderfreund Trekking Pole is Agile, Strong, & Comfortable | |
| Rating: | |
| Being in my 60's and somewhat delicate of wrist and elbow the "Leki Wanderfreund" offers a double use with the cork handle that is flexible yet very stable with the lock up system. Either as a walking cane, or a climbing staff, I get enough support without the pain experienced with my other Trekking Poles. | |

Good hiking pole | |

| Good hiking pole. Little worried with the strength of the handle. Wrist straps could be improoved but all in all they are far better than not having any at all. Excellent for down hill hiking with a heavy load. | |
