Full details
The LEKI® EAGLE walking poles are designed for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, trekking, and long mountain excursions. Their key benefit lies in their continuously adjustable Vario construction, allowing for personalized length adjustment to suit body height and terrain, ensuring comfort and stability.

Troubleshooting
Poles won't stay at adjusted length
Ensure the Super Lock System (SLS) levers are fully closed and tightened. If slippage persists, the internal locking mechanism may require servicing or adjustment. Check for debris within the locking mechanism.
Grip feels uncomfortable
Adjust the Lock System Strap for a more secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the strap is not too tight or too loose. The ergonomic design of the PAS V1 grip is intended for comfort; ensure you are holding the grip naturally.
Difficulty adjusting pole length
Make sure the SLS levers are fully open. If the poles are stuck, gently tap them on the ground or use a soft cloth to try and dislodge any dirt that might be impeding the mechanism. Do not force the adjustment.
Tip feels unstable on certain surfaces
The Flex Tip is designed for versatility. For very soft or muddy ground, consider attaching LEKI trekking baskets (sold separately) to provide greater surface area and prevent the pole from sinking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Extend the poles by loosening the Super Lock System (SLS) levers.
- Adjust each pole to your desired length, ensuring it is comfortable for your height and the terrain (typically, when the pole is held upside down with the tip on the ground, your elbow should be at a 90-degree angle).
- Firmly close and lock the SLS levers. You should feel a secure click and the levers should be tight.
- Adjust the Lock System Strap to fit snugly around your wrist. The strap can be threaded through the grip for a secure fit.

Care:
- After each use, especially in wet conditions, wipe the poles down with a damp cloth.
- Ensure the poles are completely dry before storing them to prevent corrosion.
- Periodically check the SLS levers for proper function and tightness. Clean any dirt or debris from the locking mechanism.
- Store the poles in a dry place, ideally in a protective bag, to prevent scratches and damage.
