Adjustment system seriously flawed | |
| Rating: |  |
| I got these as replacements for a pair of Black Diamonds, after the BD's clamping mechanism got dirty and stuck. I've been backpacking and mountain climbing with trek poles for many years and keep a pace that can be demanding on poles. I bought these Leki's because they appeared to be tough, with a slim profile and light weight. The ergonomics were great with well-made handles and comfy straps. The shock absorber tips I could do without - just something else to break. They're sleek-looking but also one of the priciest. Several hours into an overnight backpacking trip under the California sun and they were working perfectly. Toward the evening, when it started getting cold, I found that the adjustment collar began malfunctioning when I tried to lengthen the smallest lower segment for a steep downhill grade. One pole worked fine, but the other had a problem. I couldn't tighten the screw-tight/screw-loose pole length adjustment mechanism. It just spun around and around. I took off my pack, sat down and tried everything I could think of for 15 minutes to make it work - twisting, pushing, pulling, push-twisting, pull-twisting, squeezing. No luck, the fastener simply would not fasten the pole in place and the segment hung down loosely rendering the pole unusable dead weight. This was serious as I have a tarp tent that relies on trek poles for structure. I stuck it in my pack and made do hiking and camping with only one pole. The next day on the long hike down the mountain I managed to get the problem pole into a usuable length and didn't make any further adjustments for the long trek out. Hours later in the sun, it was working correctly again, but I was determined to return it and get something else. When I brought it into the store days later, it had been sitting in my trunk in the warm sun for hours and I was unable to demonstrate the failure in front of the cashier. That's when I realized that the problem I experienced may have been temperature related. I thought I may have experienced a fluke, and decided to try again. The next weekend, I took the poles out on another overnight trip. Just as before, they performed well all day. I could adjust them short or long, depending on terrain, with no problems. As it got colder at altitude and the sun was sinking, once again the mechanism on not just one but BOTH poles begin to fail. With night approaching, I found myself without supports for my tent. After an extremely frustrating half an hour of pushing, pulling, twisting turning and every combination of efforts, I finally was able to get both poles to lock in place. I kept them locked for the rest of the trip back the next day and returned them as soon as I could get to the store. Two failures proved there is something amiss with the Leki system that I wouldn't want to bet my safety on and would advise you to think twice about yours. I went back to Black Diamonds, where you can see the clamping system and what it's doing. The Leki system is all inside, hidden from view. You just have to trust your safety out in the middle of the wilderness that it won't fail. And it didn't work for me. I used the poles two trips total and they failed both times. Maybe I got a pair of lemons? Maybe... Thankfully REI is top notch about returns. I won't try Leki's again. Just my two cents - your mileage may vary... | |

poor locking system | |

| locking system fails in cool to cold weather. Before started a hike to Scotchman Peak, Idaho 10/11/09. locking system would not lock the upper or lower sections in place. I tried for several minutes and did get one section of one pole to lock. The temp was near the freezing point. The poles were stored in the back of an SUV with the heat on for a 1-1/2 hour trip to the trail head. I tried several times along the hike to lock the poles at the 120 extended length with no lock. I put the locking system under my arm pit to warm it up with no lock. When I returned home the poles would still not locked. I left the poles in the house at 68 degrees for 2 hours the locking systems were loose - I tightened the poles at the 120 mark and they worked fine. Temp problem. I am glad they did not lock on my hike as they might have failed when using them. | |
