Leki Khumbu Lite Trekking Poles

The LEKI Khumbu Lite is a three-section aluminium trekking pole built for adults who want reliable, full-featured mountain performance without carrying any unnecessary weight. It takes the proven Khumbu platform and delivers it in a slimmer, lighter build — a strong choice for walkers of all experience levels who want a dependable, capable pole for regular use on the hill.


At 245g per pole, the Khumbu Lite is noticeably lighter and less bulky than the standard Khumbu, achieved through a slimmer 16|14|12 mm section architecture while retaining the same Aluminium HTS 6.5 construction throughout. The Aergon grip is sized in Compact — making it particularly well suited to smaller hands, and to users who prefer a trimmer, less bulky grip in hand. It is finished in 2K CorTec, a material that blends natural cork with rubber for a grip that is warm in cold conditions, moisture-managing in the heat, and durable across seasons.


The 100–135 cm length range is one of the wider adjustments in the LEKI trekking lineup, making the Khumbu Lite genuinely versatile across a broad spread of user heights. Speed Lock plus delivers fast, glove-friendly adjustment. Flex Tip Short (Carbide) and Trekking 2.0 basket handle mixed mountain and trail terrain without issue.
