Bent sections are not covered by warranty, as they can be re-straightened in a vise. Remove the section you'd like to restraighten. You can "cushion" the aluminum using rubber, wood, even a household sponge, etc. to prevent any scraping. HTS aluminum goes through quite a bit of heat treating and tempering to make it the most resilient on the market, with the highest tensile strength, so it will restraighten easily without cracking.

Please visit our warranty claim page. Here you can request a Return Authorization (RA).

Due to our multiple folding technologies, please choose the correct folding system tutorial video for your pole:

These two types of poles may look similar, but there are significant differences in design, which allow them to serve different functions.
Trekking

• Poles have 3 sections
• Poles are used in front of the body in order to absorb stress to the joints
• The poles are planted out in front, using the muscles of the arms and shoulders
• The poles are used for balance and stability and to take pressure off the knees on steeper slopes
• The user lightly holds onto the poles with the aid of an adjustable strap
• The hands can move freely in the straps and are not attached to the poles
• Carbide Flextips are concave in order to connect evenly with the walking surface; especially rock and ice
• Rubber Tips over the Carbide Flextips may be used indoors or on pavement however they are not advised on rock or ice

Nordic Walking

• Poles are usually 2 sections although three sectioned and one-piece fixed length are also available
• Poles are lighter and their tips are meant to be engaged to the sides and behind the body while walking
• LEKI Nordic Walking poles are used for pushing off the ground to engage the whole body
• Follow-through is important
• The natural gait of arm/leg motion is intuitive
• Not meant to support weight but to evenly distribute stress and movement, and engage the walking surface
• Nordic Walking poles are not gripped as tightly as trekking poles are, but rather held loosely
• The hands are connected to the poles with straps that click-in securely and have a releasable Trigger feature
• The Rubber Tips are angled to assist with push off and maximum movement
• Poles can be used without the tips on soft or irregular surfaces

• If your pole sections extend to 140cm or 145cm, then you'll need the 18mm Standard Expanders for the middle section and 16mm Standard Expanders for the lower section. If your pole sections extend to 125cm, 130cm or 135cm, then you'll need 16mm Standard Expanders for the middle section and 14mm for the lower section. Additionally, our expanders are color coded based on size, so if you have a broken green expander then the green option on our website is correct and will fit your pole.
• Reddish-Orange Expanders are our Standard Expander and can be purchased here.

We make a traditional style buckle strap that works with the Trigger S/3D system, this can be purchased here.

Due to different styles and materials, please see our accessories page and choose which Trigger S/3D strap is correct for your pole

Yes, Trigger S and Trigger 3D poles, straps and gloves are all interchangeable.

No Trigger S/3D and the Shark system are not compatible. Trigger S/3D straps and gloves will NOT fit on poles with a Shark grip.

Please see this tutorial video on how to tighten the SpeedLock system.

• If you have DSS tips you can purchase replacements here.
• Please watch this YouTube video for instructions on how to replace DSS Tips.
• If your poles have the Universal Flextips you can purchase them here.
• If your poles have aluminum sections, the tips are press fitted on.
• If the section with the tip attached is a carbon section, please watch this video for instructions on how to replace glued on tips on carbon shafts.

You can replace the baskets of most poles. Please refer to this tutorial video for basket replacement.
Poles with trail running or speed tips (Trail Running poles and some of the Cross Trail poles come with these tips) do not have the threading to accommodate different baskets. Worldcup GS poles, also come with a specific downhill basket which cannot be exchanged for a regular race, alpine or big mountain basket.

Please see your poles product page or contact support to find out which basket your pole came with. Almost all LEKI poles have been designed to work with any style LEKI basket, so you can change styles to another basket if needed.
