The Leki Journey walking pole offers Leki's top reliability and comfort for occasional users and shorter journeys. Formerly known as the Leki Tucson trekking pole, the updated Journey sports a new Evo Con Grip for greater comfort along with updated SpeedLock+ adjustment. It's therefore a great way into using poles and will support many a day walk for taller and/or heavier users.SpeedLock+ is a lighter, smaller evolution of the Leki SpeedLock (also known as SpeedLock 1), their original external locking mechanism. Adjustment is as quick and simple as flicking a lever and with a holding force of over 70kg it's ready to be relied upon throughout your journey.The Evo Con grip adds both greater comfort and a new aesthetic to the Journey. Based on the supremely comfortable Leki Aergon grip, the smooth rubber handle puts your wrist at a neutral angle to protect your joints. The rounded top can also sit neatly in your palm, giving you an additional holding option for short downhill sections .Pragmatic and practical with Leki's quality of build and reliability - with the Leki Journey your horizons will open up.
