Leki Cressida Trekking Poles

The Cressida Cork Lite poles adjust between 90cm and 125cm. They are generally best suited for hikers of average height; if you are over 6 feet tall, you may find that you need a longer pole for proper trekking geometry.

The Speed Lock Plus is a lever-based external locking mechanism that is highly reliable and easy to adjust, even while wearing gloves. It is designed to be tightened or loosened by hand without tools, allowing you to quickly change the pole length as the terrain shifts.

Cork is naturally moisture-wicking and breathable, which helps prevent your hands from getting sweaty or slipping during long, hot hikes. Over time, the cork material also molds slightly to the shape of your hand, offering a more personalized and comfortable grip.

With a collapsed pack size of 64cm, these poles will fit diagonally in most medium-to-large suitcases. However, they may be too long for smaller carry-on bags, so it is worth measuring your luggage before you travel.

Yes, the poles feature Leki’s Flex Tip system, which is designed to be durable but replaceable. If the carbide tip wears down after extensive use on rocky terrain, you can swap it out without needing to replace the entire pole.
