Do you feel the need—the need for speed? Poles don't get much lighter than the Leki Vertical K Trekking Poles. Made for trail running, the Vertical features a no-frills, one-piece carbon construction and natural cork handle to cut extraneous ounces, so we can fly down the trail without the added weight. Weighing only 4 ounces and change, this pole is made for those of us who like to go as fast—and as light—as possible.
