Cressida | Women’s (Pair)

Robust aluminium pole ergonomically designed for female hikers

When it comes to hiking and trekking, one size really doesnt fit all. And that applies to poles too, which makes it kinda frustrating that most poles have a long range of adjustment intended for 6ft-plus men. Why carry the extra weight of all that tubing if youll never use it? The Leki Cressida pole is refreshingly different. Specialised for users under 5’6″ in height, this short, lightweight pole is ideal for petite women and younger hikers. It doesnt skimp on top end features either: you get an ergonomic Aergon Air Compact foam grip with a cork-effect insert, sized for smaller hands and maximising comfort on long walks. Speed Lock 2 levers ensure quick and easy adjustment, even on the move, so you can tweak the length to suit the terrain shorter for power transfer on tough climbs, longer for balance on descents.
