Leki Cressida Speed Lock Ladies Poles
The Cressida presents an impressive feature set: Comfortable Aergon grips in a compact design for smaller hands, Speed Lock system 2 for hassle-free length adjustment, and ultralight, high-strength aluminium shafts.
Sally says….
" Joining Mike on many backpacking trips over recent years i have found trekking poles to be invaluable especially going off trail ( which my husband loves to do ), tackling boulder fields and fast flowing rivers. I packed the Leki Cressida’s on our 2018 Norway trip and loved them especially on those really steep descents off the mountain."
