{"product_id":"skytera-lite-trekking-poles","title":"Skytera Lite Trekking Poles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Skytera Lite is LEKI's answer to fast-and-light hiking and alpine travel — a three-piece telescoping pole built from HTS 6.5 heat-treated aluminum that handles heavy loads without the weight penalty. New for 2026, it pairs that proven shaft construction with the updated Verticon grip: precision-molded 1K foam that weighs just one ounce (strap included), shaped for a secure, natural hold during high-output movement. The breathable D-Loop mesh strap keeps things comfortable on sweaty days. Speed Lock Plus handles length adjustment in seconds — even with gloves on — across a 90–125 cm or 100–135 cm range. At under 8 ounces per pole, there's not much to leave at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerticon Grip\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lightweight 1K foam construction (1 oz. with strap) shaped for quick movement in the mountains; extended lower grip section provides additional hold options on steep terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Security Strap\u003c\/strong\u003e — Ultralight, fast-drying, breathable D-Loop mesh for all-day comfort\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHTS 6.5 Aluminum Shaft\u003c\/strong\u003e — Heat-treated for durability and stability under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeed Lock+\u003c\/strong\u003e — Tool-free length adjustment; 27% smaller and 35% lighter than Speed Lock 1; glove-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrekking Basket 2.0\u003c\/strong\u003e — Prevents sinking on soft surfaces; protects lower shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTour Baskets Included\u003c\/strong\u003e — Additional larger baskets for touring and snowy conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterchangeable Basket System\u003c\/strong\u003e — Offset threads keep baskets secure; compatible with full LEKI basket lineup\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal Carbide Flextip\u003c\/strong\u003e — Confident purchase on rock, dirt, and mixed terrain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90–125 cm or 100–135 cm | \u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Under 8 oz. per pole\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"Standard","offer_id":50664005927159,"sku":"LEK65621351S","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Compact","offer_id":50664005959927,"sku":"LEK65621351C","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0377\/8989\/2653\/files\/65621351S_1.jpg?v=1785370631","url":"https:\/\/themountainair.com\/products\/skytera-lite-trekking-poles","provider":"The Mountain Air","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
