{"title":"LEKI","description":null,"products":[{"product_id":"leki-detect-s-pole","title":"Leki Detect S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Detect S is LEKI's all-mountain workhorse — a fixed-length alpine pole built around a 16 mm HTS 6.0 aluminum shaft. That's a heat-treated aluminum that's stiffer and tougher than the entry-level alloy on a budget resort pole, so the swing weight feels neutral and the shaft shrugs off the dings that bend cheaper poles, without the fragility of carbon. The Trigger S ProG grip is the headline feature: the system lets you click in and out of the strap with a gloved hand in a second, and in a fall the strap releases cleanly through a 220-degree arc rather than torquing your thumb into something painful. The Trigger Frame Strap Mesh is wider than older LEKI straps, transfers power well, and breathes in high-output conditions. Two baskets ship in the bag — a Cobra alpine basket for hardpack and groomers, and a Big Mountain basket for soft or powder snow — and you can swap them without tools on the hill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese are a strong choice for intermediate to advanced all-mountain skiers who spend most of their days at a resort and want a genuinely reliable strap system without paying carbon prices. The dual-basket setup means one pole covers most conditions you'll encounter on and off the groomed. That said, if you ski deep powder consistently, a dedicated lightweight touring pole with a larger powder basket will serve you better than swapping baskets in the lift line. And if you want an adjustable-length option for sharing between skiers or for touring crossover use, LEKI makes the Detect S Vario in the same family — worth a look before you commit to a fixed length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHTS 6.0 aluminum, 16mm shaft, carbide tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger S ProG safety-release grip\/strap, dual baskets (Cobra alpine + Big Mountain powder)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine resort \/ all-mountain\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate-advanced (unisex)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"115 \/ BLK","offer_id":49223545454887,"sku":"65368111115","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ GRN\/YLW","offer_id":49223550271783,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ BLK","offer_id":49223550304551,"sku":"65368111120","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ GRN\/YLW","offer_id":49223550337319,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ BLK","offer_id":49223550370087,"sku":"65368111125","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ GRN\/YLW","offer_id":49223550402855,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ BLK","offer_id":49223550435623,"sku":"65368111130","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ GRN\/YLW","offer_id":49223550468391,"sku":null,"price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"110 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689447751975,"sku":"65368114110","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689447784743,"sku":"65368114115","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689447850279,"sku":"65368114120","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689447981351,"sku":"65368114125","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689448603943,"sku":"65368114130","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"135 \/ WARM GRAY\/BLK","offer_id":51689448636711,"sku":"65368114135","price":119.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_20241006155414.png?v=1728201422"},{"product_id":"detect-s","title":"Swtch Pow Ski Poles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe LEKI SWTCH Pow is a fixed-length aluminum pole built around a single-piece TS 4.5 aluminum shaft at 18 mm diameter — the same alloy LEKI uses across much of its entry-to-mid-range alpine lineup. That choice keeps the price accessible while giving you a shaft stiff enough to plant cleanly on hardpack. The defining difference between the SWTCH Pow and the standard SWTCH is the basket: where the regular model comes with a compact Performance basket sized for groomed runs, the Pow swaps in a large snowflake basket that floats in soft and variable snow without catching or dragging. The grip is LEKI's Downhill Soft Racing shape with a continuously adjustable buckle strap — traditional, secure, and sized to work over a glove. Steel tip, no fuss.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pole is aimed at resort skiers who spend meaningful time in soft conditions — trees, ungroomed terrain, the occasional powder day — and want one pole that handles both without stepping up to a backcountry or touring setup. Because it's fixed-length and built from aluminum rather than carbon, it's heavier in hand than something like LEKI's carbon Spire or Aergon series, and it has more swing weight than you'd feel in a lighter shaft; if you're chasing speed gates or logging high-mileage touring days, those things will matter. It also uses a standard buckle strap rather than LEKI's Trigger S release system, so it is not the right call for anyone who wants quick pole release in a fall or in lift lines. If you mostly ski groomed blue and black runs and don't need the big basket, the standard SWTCH at the same price point makes more sense. But if your days regularly include the soft stuff and you want a durable, straightforward pole that won't break the bank, the SWTCH Pow delivers exactly that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTS 4.5 aluminum, 18mm one-piece shaft, steel tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSnowflake powder basket, Downhill Soft Racing grip, adjustable buckle strap (non-release), 110-135cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeginner-advanced (unisex)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"115 \/ OLIVE\/SAND","offer_id":49223555580199,"sku":"65446321115","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"115 \/ GRAY\/SAND\/BLK","offer_id":49223555612967,"sku":"65446322115","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120 \/ OLIVE\/SAND","offer_id":49223555645735,"sku":"65446321120","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ GRAY\/SAND\/BLK","offer_id":49223555678503,"sku":"65446322120","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"125 \/ OLIVE\/SAND","offer_id":49223555711271,"sku":"65446321125","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"125 \/ GRAY\/SAND\/BLK","offer_id":49223555744039,"sku":"65446322125","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"130 \/ OLIVE\/SAND","offer_id":49223555776807,"sku":"65446321130","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ GRAY\/SAND\/BLK","offer_id":49223555809575,"sku":"65446322130","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ PINK\/NEON YLW","offer_id":49223558005031,"sku":"65446323115","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ PURPLE","offer_id":49223558037799,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120 \/ PINK\/NEON YLW","offer_id":49223558070567,"sku":"65446323120","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"120 \/ PURPLE","offer_id":49223558103335,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ PINK\/NEON YLW","offer_id":49223558136103,"sku":"65446323125","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"125 \/ PURPLE","offer_id":49223558168871,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ PINK\/NEON YLW","offer_id":49223558201639,"sku":"65446323130","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ PURPLE","offer_id":49223558234407,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_20241006161056.png?v=1728202367"},{"product_id":"qntm","title":"LEKI QNTM Ski Poles","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe LEKI QNTM is a fixed-length alpine resort pole built around an 18mm aluminum TS 5.0 shaft — the same alloy grade LEKI has used across its workhorse line for years. That shaft diameter sits in a sweet spot: stout enough to take an awkward plant without flexing or bending, light enough that you won't notice the swing mid-run. The pole comes in at around 224 grams per stick, which is honest weight for an aluminum construction — not featherlight, but solid and predictable. The PAS Soft grip has a built-in +8° positive angle, which puts your wrist in a more neutral position than a straight grip does, reducing fatigue on longer days. The strap is LEKI's Nylon Lock Strap — fully adjustable, breathable, and fitted with a safety release, so it will let go under load. This is not a Trigger system; you thread your hand through and tighten it down. The basket is a compact universal style, cut for groomed snow and packed conditions rather than powder float. Steel tip is built into the shaft rather than threaded on separately, which keeps it from walking loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe QNTM is aimed squarely at intermediate to advanced resort skiers who want a durable, no-fuss pole at a straightforward price point — someone who skis lift-served terrain regularly and just needs the pole to show up and do its job every run. It holds up well to daily use and travel abuse. Who should pass on it: if you're stepping into lift lines with a heavy powder-day habit, the compact basket won't give you the float you want when snow is deep — look at a basket-swappable option or a pole marketed specifically for off-piste. If you want hands-free strap release for park or aggressive all-mountain riding, LEKI's Trigger-equipped poles (such as the Detect S or Airfoil 3D lines) are the right step up. And if you're chasing genuine weight savings for race training, a carbon shaft will serve you better than this aluminum build.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTS 5.0 aluminum, 18mm shaft, integrated steel tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePAS Soft +8° grip, Nylon Lock Strap with safety release, universal basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate-advanced (unisex)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"110 \/ RED","offer_id":49224193769767,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ RED","offer_id":49224187805991,"sku":"FCSKW24-AG1X-ZZ-1","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ RED","offer_id":49224187937063,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ RED","offer_id":49224188068135,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ RED","offer_id":49224188199207,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"110 \/ GREEN","offer_id":49224193802535,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ GREEN","offer_id":49224187838759,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ GREEN","offer_id":49224187969831,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ GREEN","offer_id":49224188100903,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ GREEN","offer_id":49224188231975,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"110 \/ BLUE","offer_id":49224193835303,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"115 \/ BLUE","offer_id":49224187871527,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"120 \/ BLUE","offer_id":49224188002599,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"125 \/ BLUE","offer_id":49224188133671,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"130 \/ BLUE","offer_id":49224188264743,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_519XuklHqZL._AC_SL1500.jpg?v=1730131850"},{"product_id":"racing-kids","title":"Racing Kids","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Racing Kids is LEKI's entry-level junior alpine pole built on the same visual DNA as the brand's World Cup race sticks — which is exactly why kids want them. The shaft is 14 mm aluminum (LEKI's TS 4.5 alloy), fixed-length, and single-segment, which keeps the construction simple and the price low without sacrificing the stiffness a developing skier needs for solid pole plants. The PAS V1 grip is scaled down for smaller hands, and the nylon Lock Security strap is individually adjustable so you can dial the fit as your kid grows — just know it's a standard fixed strap, not LEKI's Trigger release system, so it stays anchored to the grip rather than detaching in a fall. The basket is a compact racing\/trekking dual-purpose design, appropriate for groomed runs and hard-pack; it won't float in deep powder, but kids at this stage don't need it to. Per-pole weight runs 143 g to 167 g across the 80–105 cm size run, which is light enough that it won't fatigue small arms on a full day of laps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pole is for kids working on their fundamentals at the resort — first-time pole users through early intermediates who want something durable, correctly sized, and cheap enough that you won't lose sleep when it gets dropped in a lift maze. It is not a gate-training pole: it uses a fixed grip with no Trigger system, so it can't take the junior closed gate guards that mount on LEKI's Trigger 3D race poles. If your young skier is doing actual slalom training or dual-course racing, step up to the WCR Lite SL 3D Junior instead. And if your child is still in ski school and not quite ready for poles at all, hold off — poles tend to slow down early-stage learning more than they help.

That alloy grade keeps weight down to roughly 144–172 g per pole depending on size, which matters more on small arms than adults tend to realize. The Turbo Sport grip is sized for kids' hands, not scaled down from an adult mold, and the Buckle Strap is a simple, tool-free adjustable webbing loop — not a trigger or release system. The basket is LEKI's compact alpine style: low-profile and suited to groomed runs and firm snow. It won't float in deep powder, and it's not meant to.

They come in 5 cm increments from 80 to 105 cm, which spans a solid stretch of the grade-school years as kids grow through the program. The honest caveat: because they're fixed-length, you'll be buying new poles every season or two as your child grows — if you want something that grows with them, the LEKI Rider Vario SL+ covers 85–105 cm with a Speed Lock Plus clamp adjustment and might stretch across two to three seasons instead. The standard Rider is the right call when you want to keep cost low and your kid is at a size where the fixed increments land well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTS 4.5 aluminum, 14mm shaft, fixed-length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurbo Sport kids grip, adjustable buckle strap (non-release), Racing\/Trekking basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYouth \/ kids - beginner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 80","offer_id":51007152980263,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 85","offer_id":51007153013031,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 90","offer_id":51007153045799,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 95","offer_id":51180368986407,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 100","offer_id":51007153078567,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BLACK\/NEON YELLOW \/ 105","offer_id":51007153111335,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 80","offer_id":51180353487143,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 85","offer_id":51180353519911,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 90","offer_id":51180353552679,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 95","offer_id":51180369019175,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 100","offer_id":51180353585447,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"TEAL\/DARK BLUE \/ 105","offer_id":51180353618215,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 80","offer_id":51180353650983,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 85","offer_id":51180353683751,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 90","offer_id":51180353716519,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 95","offer_id":51180369051943,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 100","offer_id":51180353749287,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"LIGHT BLUE\/ORANGE \/ 105","offer_id":51180353782055,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/800x600_20241006224645.png?v=1728226085"},{"product_id":"leki-spitfire-vario-3d","title":"Leki Spitfire Vario 3D","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Spitfire Vario 3D is LEKI's adjustable take on their long-running Spitfire freeride pole, built from HTS 6.5 high-tensile aluminum — a tough, well-proven alloy that holds up to season after season of off-piste abuse. The two-piece shaft runs 16mm diameter up top stepping down to 14mm at the lower section, giving it a planted feel without being excessively heavy for an adjustable aluminum pole (about 277g per pole). Length dials in from 110 to 140 cm via LEKI's Speed Lock Plus lever, which you can operate with bulky gloves on — genuinely useful mid-run when you're dropping into a steeper line than expected. Two baskets come in the box: a compact Cobra Alpine basket for groomers and packed snow, and a Big Mountain basket for soft-snow days, both swappable by hand at the trailhead. The Trigger 3D ProG grip does the most interesting work here — it's a passive multi-directional release system with a 220-degree release range, so the pole lets go if you catch a basket or strap up in a fall rather than torquing your wrist or shoulder. The mesh strap is breathable, fits one size, and clicks in and out of the grip quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pole is aimed at all-mountain and freeride skiers who want a single pole that can handle a groomer warm-up lap and a powder-field side-trip without swapping gear — the adjustable shaft genuinely earns its place here rather than being a gimmick. If you ski almost exclusively on-piste at a fixed terrain level, you don't need the adjustability and will be better served by the fixed-length Spitfire 3D, which is lighter and simpler. The aluminum shaft is durable but carries more swing weight than a carbon option; dedicated backcountry tourers putting in serious vertical will want to look at LEKI's carbon touring lineup instead. But for a skier who laps the resort one run and then drops into a side-country zone the next, the Spitfire Vario 3D is a practical, well-built choice that doesn't make you carry two pairs of poles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHTS 6.5 aluminum, 16\/14mm two-piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrigger 3D ProG grip (220° passive release), Speed Lock Plus 110-140cm, dual baskets (Cobra Alpine + Big Mountain)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine \/ freeride \/ side-country\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntermediate-advanced (unisex)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"BLUE \/ 0TU","offer_id":50490087211303,"sku":"65367101","price":164.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"BERRY \/ 0TU","offer_id":50490099073319,"sku":"65367102","price":164.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/65367101_1_2048x2048_0f953c17-b318-4f4d-aa6c-725b1bf3c7df.webp?v=1759540626"},{"product_id":"leki-drifter-vario-s","title":"Leki Drifter Vario S","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Drifter Vario S is LEKI's adjustable junior alpine pole, built on an HTS 5.5 aluminum shaft that runs 14mm at the top and tapers to 12mm — a proven two-piece construction that keeps weight down to around 221 grams per pole while staying stiff enough to not feel sloppy underfoot. The SpeedLock 1 Plus system lets you dial the length anywhere between 90 and 120 cm with gloves on, which matters when you're adjusting for a growing kid mid-season rather than hunting for a hex key in the lodge. The Trigger S SL grip runs in a compact size scaled for smaller hands, and the Trigger Vario Strap clips in and out at the push of a button — no threading wrists through a loop, and the release function means the pole drops away cleanly in a fall rather than torquing a shoulder. The Cobra Alpine basket is a tight, compact disc sized for groomed and packed snow, not powder days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pole is built for kids and early teens on resort terrain — beginners through solid intermediates who are still in a growth phase and need a pole that can stretch with them across a season or two rather than requiring a replacement every spring. The adjustable shaft solves the fit problem without compromise on build quality, which is the whole point at this age. That said, if your kid has finished growing or is at a level where a fixed-length pole with a more specialized grip would serve them better, it is worth stepping up to a fixed junior or adult entry-level pole. Likewise, this is a groomed-trail basket — it is not intended for powder skiing or backcountry use. For adult beginners or smaller adults who land at the top of this size range, we would still steer you toward a fixed adult pole; the Drifter Vario S is sized and gripped specifically for youth hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHTS 5.5 aluminum, tapered 14\/12mm two-piece\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeatures\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeedLock 1 Plus 90-120cm, Trigger S SL grip with safety-release strap, Cobra Alpine basket\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUse\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAlpine\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBest For\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYouth \/ kids - beginner-intermediate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"LEKI","offers":[{"title":"0TU","offer_id":50490126729511,"sku":"65364102","price":89.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/7177\/0663\/files\/65364102_p_2048x2048_f084aa1b-4062-4265-93b0-aa4ccf51ea9e.webp?v=1759541321"},{"product_id":"leki-copper-3d-pro","title":"Leki Copper 3D Pro","description":"\u003ch2\u003eLEKI Copper 3D Pro\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Copper 3D Pro is a full-leather all-mountain ski glove built around a 100% goatskin shell and PrimaLoft Gold insulation — rated extra warm, so it's genuinely suited for cold Pacific Northwest days rather than just mild resort afternoons.
