Leki was founded when German skier Karl Lenhart found himself less than impressed by the ski poles of the day. While they were once crafted from the same wood used to make signs for local bakeries and butchers, they're now engineered from exceedingly lightweight carbon and aluminum, and even feature a speed lock system that lets you adjust these trail-wackers to your liking and then secure them against the forces of gravity. Snag the Leki Tour Carbon 2 Adjustable Ski Poles at a sweet price this season and consider it a little homage to our friend Karl.
