LEKI Cressida FX Carbon Collapsible Trekking Poles – Ultralight 100–120 cm

Ultralight carbon trekking poles designed for travel and trail

LEKI Cressida FX Carbon is built for hikers who want dependable support without adding bulk. The carbon PRC 1000 shaft keeps weight in check while delivering surprising stiffness, helping you maintain a steady rhythm across rocky paths and root-strewn trails. The Brown-Lightblue-Metallic finish adds a touch of style to your kit, while the design emphasizes durability and reliable performance in varied conditions.

Smart, space-saving design for travel

The poles collapse into three 15.7-inch sections, sliding into a pack, duffel, or carry-on with ease. A single-speed long 2 Plus adjustment covers a versatile 100–120 cm range, letting you tailor length to your height, terrain, and stance for comfortable hikes and steady descents.

• Three-part folding design for compact packing
• Adjustable length 100–120 cm for flexibility on slopes
• Folding length of 15.7 inches per section for easy storage

Carbon construction and comfort

Carbon is the backbone here. The PRC 1000 shaft balances stiffness with lightness, helping you maintain momentum on varied terrain. The Aergon Air Grip foam handle runs down the shaft, offering a soft, conforming grip that stays comfortable during long climbs and technical descents. This ergonomic approach supports a natural wrist angle, contributing to a relaxed feel on demanding trails.

• Ultralight ~8.6 oz per pole for easier carry
• Aergon Air Grip provides extended comfort and grip control
• Rigid carbon shaft maintains stability on uneven ground

Practical features designed for hikers

The Cressida FX uses LEKI’s Folding System (ELD) for reliable folding and compact storage. The Speed Lock 2 Plus locking mechanism offers confident length retention—adjust quickly, lock securely, and stay focused on the trail. The Trekking 2.0 basket helps prevent sinking in soft ground, while the Flex Tip Short delivers traction on mixed surfaces.

Field-ready notes and care

In the box and on the trail, you’ll appreciate thoughtful details like the folding pole bag for clean storage and transport. With a 100–120 cm range and pack-friendly design, these poles suit day hikes, weekend treks, and travel where space is at a premium. Color and finish also help you stay visible on busy trails.

Note: Results can vary by user and conditions. Always verify fit and adjust to your comfort level before longer treks.
