Santa came early this year and dropped a box of brand new Leki products. This is my 6th season with Leki and I have to say that from one year to the other, I keep getting more and more impressed by the quality of the products.

This year, aside from outstanding quality, Leki has developed a new Freeride Collection with amazing graphics and new features.

I had the opportunity to ski the Rodeo Vario Speedlock for a month touring and heliskiing everyday at the end of the season in Iceland and Norway and I was really impress by the Speedlock system. This system does not lose tension and the pole stays in position. We have all experienced old locking system with a twist – not reliable. This is not an issue anymore. It is strong and easy to use.

I would also recommend checking out other models such as the Project 19 and Blast for more classical poles but still featuring the Trigger system.

So, open the link below, and have your credit card ready. It is worth every penny!
