Looking for a one-pole solution this winter that won't break the bank? Look no further. The Leki Helicon Lite is a proven backcountry workhorse that also happens to be easy on the wallet.

Featuring a lightweight, durable, two-piece aluminum construction with SpeedLock+ technology for easy adjustment and exceptional holding power, the Helicon Lite is truly the ultimate one-pole quiver for backcountry skiing. Adjustable from 110 to 145 centimeters, the poles come with an extended foam grip that offers multiple gripping locations for climbing or skinning steeper terrain. The comfortable Evocon PAS grip also comes with a micro-adjustable loop strap.

To finish off the design, the Helicon Lite features the Big Mountain Binding Basket with a straight, hard edge that's perfect for adjusting climbing aids or cleaning ice and snow buildup from skins. The Carbide tip penetrates even the firmest snow and ice.

Grab a pair and see why the Helicon is Leki's most popular touring pole.
