The Leki Airfoil 3D ski pole features Leki's exclusive Trigger 3D system. This system is an update of the revolutionary Trigger S enhancing ski pole comfort, performance and safety. You get a small strap that fits securely around any glove and replaces the traditional pole strap. This new strap has a small loop between the thumb and forefinger which attaches to the ski pole with a click and releases with the push of a button.
This means no more faffing about on drag lifts trying to get your hands in your pole loops or accidentally dropping them on the chair lift!
The main technical features of the system are that it enables greater power transmission to the pole as well as being the most comfortable system on the market. The main feature, however, is safety. In a heavy crash the pole will become detached from the glove, much as skis do. This pressure on the pole pops the loop out and saves you twisting or breaking your arm while still attached to the pole. Good huh?
The poles themselves are also incredibly high quality. They're made of super lightweight aluminium with a Alpine Flex Tip for durability and provides grip on all types of terrain.
