HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF MY POLES?

LEKI poles are characterized by the highest level of quality and durability. Whether ski poles, hiking poles, nordic walking poles, cross country poles, trail running poles or touring poles, it is important that you look after them properly to ensure this longevity. Here are some tips on care and cleaning that can significantly extend their lifespan.

How do I keep my telescoping poles in good condition?

If you inspect them every now and then, LEKI Telescoping Poles will remain a reliable part of your gear for many years. If you need to wipe them off, you should only do so with a dry cloth. Please do not use any lubricants, oils or fats. The parts with wear should be replaced every so often depending on their condition.

After a tour, we recommend pulling the pole apart into separate segments and letting them dry. This way a layer of oxidation won't form on the inside of the tubes. Once they are put together again, your LEKI Telescope Poles are ready to use again.

How do I keep my folding poles in good condition?

If you follow our care instructions, your LEKI Folding Poles will remain a reliable part of your gear for many years. Should the poles ever get moist or wet, extend the folding poles after use and set them (in the case of Vario folding poles) at the maximum length. Dry the entire pole with a dry cloth. The folding pole should be folded and stored in a dry environment. It is imperative that you prevent dirt, dust and other grime from getting inside the individual segments; this can impair their function as you unfold, fold, and use the poles, and damages their segments.  

Which parts can be exchanged?

All accessories and worn parts can be replaced with LEKI products (handles, loops, discs, tips). However, we only recommend replacing the basket with integrated threading yourself. In the case of glued tips or handles, please contact your trusted LEKI specialist dealer.
