What we think
At Valley and Peak, we put our gear to the test on a variety of UK trails, and the Leki Sherpa Trekking Poles have proven their worth on several local hikes, tackling a range of terrains from rocky ascents to muddy paths. We’ve also taken them on more demanding routes, such as Helvellyn in the Lake District, and have found they perform well in a variety of conditions.
The Leki Sherpa Trekking Poles are made from durable yet lightweight aluminium, offering a solid balance between strength and weight. On local hikes, including varying terrain such as steep hills and uneven ground, these poles provided excellent stability and support. We found the Speed Lock+ System to be easy to use, allowing for quick and secure adjustments to the pole length, which came in handy when navigating the changing landscape, from uphill climbs to descents on rougher paths.
Overall, the Leki Sherpa Trekking Poles are a reliable choice for UK hikers. They provide solid performance, comfort, and support, whether you're tackling local hikes on varying terrain or more challenging ascents like Helvellyn. While they’re a bit heavier than some alternatives, they still offer great stability and durability. If you’re looking for trekking poles that can handle a wide range of conditions and terrains, the Leki Sherpa Trekking Poles are a solid option. -
